Windows Desktop Search Disable

If you like me you tend to put in al patches that Microsoft releases , then you got the new Microsoft Desktop Search Defaulted first rather than the simple file Search Windows Companion (with the little dog !)

to get it back to default the Windows Companion do the following :

regedit

go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Desktop Search\DS

then change ShowStartSearchBand to 0 (Zero)
if it does not exist create it as a DWORD value (it will show up as a REG_WORD type ) and set the value to 0 (Zero Hex)
