WinXP Explorer search bar search area appears gray background

When we look for some files, in order to save time, we usually search through the Explorer's search bar. However, some WinXP users found their Explorer's search bar, and the search area turned gray after clicking the search button. How to solve this problem?

Fault Cause:

The Shell32.DLL registration point was accidentally lost.

Solution:

Use the following command to solve:

rundll32 c:\\windows\\system32\\shell32.dll, DllInstall

Please note DllInstall case Here, it is assumed that the system is installed on the C drive.

If your Explorer's search bar background is also gray, why not try to fix it with a small editor? I believe I will give you a surprise.
