Problem with Win7 search after uninstalling O2010 CTP
- After trying the CTP, then uninstalling the CTP, and installing Office 2007 back, everything works fine except Windows desktop search. When I search for anything it shows the right results but opening any items (which are shown with the "globe icon") Windows 7 gives the error: "Problem with shortcut - Unable to open this Internet Shortcut. The protocol "mapi" does not have a registered program"
There is a post over in the Win7 forum on this issue, but my suspicion is that it is really an Office uninstall problem, not a Win7 problem.

Travis Need to edit registry settings after taking a backup. Add the new key as follows:
Location : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\mapi]
New Key : ShellFolder
Binary Value : {89D83576-6BD1-4c86-9454-BEB04E94C819}
Steps to follow:
To take Backup:
Go to Start >> run >> type regedit and hit enter.
Once the registry editor launches, click on File >> Export >> Save the file.
To add new entry:
In registry editor, navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\mapi]
On the right panel, right click >> New >> Key >> Enter "ShellFolder"
Then once the key is created, right click on "ShellFolder" >> Modify Binary Data >> Enter "{89D83576-6BD1-4c86-9454-BEB04E94C819}" without quotes.
This will fix the issue.Need to edit registry settings after taking a backup. Add the new key as follows:
