When I open my files it is in automatic search mode

So like when I open my documents, it opens and it comes up with search it has three different boxes and z dog on it. It doesn't matter what I open it does the same thing.

I have gone in and done this and it's not working is there anything else I can do to fix this, it's causing issues with my work. Please Help

If it's not the same old issue then I fear you'll have to find out what's new about this issue. I have fixed this too many times with the usual cures. But you claim these don't work so I'm going to assume you rebooted, it failed to fix so unless there are more clues you are likely looking at reloading the OS and losing anything that was not on backups.

Interesting issue but it would be nice to hear how this is different from the prior "usual."

I think this the problem started because I changed the icon not realizing that it would cause an issue I have since changed the icon back. I really really don"t want to have to reboot because I haven't been backing things up. This is the first time this has ever happened to me, and it's frustrating, and costing me money cuz I work out of my home. Any suggestion you have would be helpful


Thanks,

Click on the Start button, shutdown and restart. If you don't backup, and reboots can cause loss I'd fix that first since a reboot is required for the change I know to take effect.

I went in and did this it fixed the issue, thanks for your help
