I'm using both the Linux and the Windows Version of C:B 10.
On Linux there is the symbol browser and on Windows (XP Prof.) there is no symbol browser at all. The symbol browser tab in the manager is missing.
Is the browser not available on Windows in general? Are there any settings which might hide the browser? I went through all the option menus and did not find a way to enable it.
Yes, I did a standard installation from codeblocks-10.05-setup.exe.
Yes, I have installed all the core plugins of C:B 10.05.
No, I did not install any other (contribution) plugin.
No, there have not been any warnings during installation.
No, there is not any strange behavior (apart from the missing browser).

Is the code completion plugin enabled?

Yes, there is an option that disables the symbol browser. It is a checkbox at: Settings > Editor > "Code completion and Symbol Browser" > "Symbol Browser" tab. If you see the "Disable symbols browser" option unchecked, though, something else is wrong.
Did you install version 10.05 on top of an older version?
Perhaps migrated settings could have caused this odd behaviour. To be sure of this, I would go to your %AppData% folder (I don't remember where it was in XP, but I think this variable exists) and manually delete the codeblocks folder there. This will erase all settings, and the next time you run Code::Blocks, it will be setting itself up as if it was running for the very first time.

Yup, it was the code completion. I did turn it off because I don't like auto-completion. And I did not imagine that this disables the symbol browser too. Strange though.
Thanks a lot for this extraordinary quick hint.

I think, there is a way to disable only the auto-completion/intellisense.
Look into the options...
