Modifying your registry can cause serious problems. Please make a restore point or export the keys affected by these registry files. The batch files export the registry keys for you and are placed in
My Documents under
RegBackup.
If you are not sure how to export or merge registry keys, I have written a quick
tutorial.
If you have reached this page because of HomeSA or other spyware, this registry patch does not fix it, nor was it ever meant to. If you are having a spyware problem, please take a look in my
Spyware Forum, read the sticky topic, and if you are still having problems, post a
HijackThis log for me to look at.
This registry patch disables the new search assistant and returns the classic search interface to both Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer.
None really, if you want to undo it, just use the undo file.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState]
"Use Search Asst"="no"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Use Search Asst"="no"
- RemoveSearchAssistant.bat
- RemoveSearchAssistant.reg
- UNDO_RemoveSearchAssistant.reg
Save #1 to your desktop, double-click the batch file, the affected registry key will be exported for you, and the registry file will be merged.
Usually your computer must be restarted for these to take effect.
The UNDO file 3. is needed to undo this change.
