WINXP Search disable this Stupid Utility use Win2k Search

Similar to me you hate the XP search interface, and much prefer the older one from Win2k.

You can if you wish use the older style search applet.

B efore you continue implement My Tip Procedure before amending the Registry in the First Edition

No matter how good you are you could be sorry if you don’t

Go to :‐

Start > Run in the box type without the quotes “ Regedit “

Scroll down to :‐

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Cab

inetState

In the right‐hand pane you should see a ʺstring valueʺ called ʺUse Search Asstʺ

Its value needs to be set to “ No “

ʺUse Search Asstʺ=ʺnoʺ

If you do not see the string value you will need to create one by right‐clicking on CabinetState and choose String value and then type in the name Use Search Asst

To change the value right‐click on the name and choose Modify This is much faster and better than the traditional XPsearch.
