Default .oss files not recognized by Outlook 2007

I've just upgraded to Outlook 2007 (I know, silly me!) and it won't open,
save or even recognize Office Saved Search (.oss) files. The Advanced Find
function (which is what uses these files) exists in O-2007 and contains the
Open and Save options in the drop-down menu (so presumably the functionality
is there somewhere?), but they are greyed out so they can't be used. I've
applied the regedit fix described in the Knowledge Base (although that is
only claimed to fix O-2000 and O-2003) but it doesn't make any difference.
(Actually, doesn't work on O-2002 either, but at least after applying the
fix, if you click on a .oss file it opens the search in Outlook OK; but this
doesn't happen with O-2007.) Can't find anything about this problem under
Help or technical support for O-2007 (searches on "advanced find", .oss, or
"saved search" come up with no relevant results). Anyone know how to
activate this functionality?
