so i can't access my little calender or time zone box through the control panel or a double-click on the time in the bottom-right corner of my screen; found a solution online but it says i could really screw up my registry and then of course windows

microsoft says there is no guarantee that i can fix an error i make in RegEdit: Here is the article with the solution

does anyone know or think that it is safe for me to try what they say here? i've created a key in RegEdit (a key is one of the files in RegEdit) and thought it might work but haven't tried it yet. any suggestions?

on another note, my Find option on the Start Menu only has one thing in it and that is "Using Microsoft Outlook". is there any way i can fix that myself?

thanks
