Held hostage by a pig?

Sorry, I meant to say does your machine download updates automagically from Microsoft on Patch Tuesday?

Does your machine's native search function now invoke Windows Search instead of the old search my computer?

Want the old one back? Here you go.

Too lazy to click? Here you go:

It’s time to remove that and bring back the Good ol’ dog (I’ve actualy removed that dog as it was very anoying. Tweak XP has a nice setting to use the classic search in Explorer - still the best search tool Microsoft has made… how sad)

Here is how you bring back the Dog or the Classic search in Explorer:

Quote:
Open RegEdit (Start > Run > regedit).

Find the following : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Desktop Search\DS

Double-click on ‘ShowStartSearchBand’ and set the value to ‘0′.
Close that and you’re done, the next time you click ‘Search’ in explorer, the old, reliable search companion will appear.

This applies to operating systems before Windows Vista

Happy searching.
Here's another one with a .reg file you can click.
