TSGL: Fw: Windows XP search won't

[Dieter @ California]

Out of curiosity I checked my Windows XP SP2 "search" and found the 
following on my machine:

msmapi32.dll => C:\ProgramFiles\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 || 1.382 MB 
Application
msmapi32.dll_0001_1033 => C:\MSOCache\All Users\ || 1.324 MB File
msmapi32.dll_0001_1033 => C:\Windows Installer\$Patch Cache$\ || 1.324 MB 
File
msmapi32.dll_0001_1033 => C:\Windows Installer\$PatchCache$\ || 1.382 MB 
File

I am slso running MS Office 2003 complete install, but w/o Outlook.
