Thanks for the advice johnhc. Unfortunately the suggestion didn't work - I think because the Kelly's Corner script is purely a registry tweak whereas nLite doesn't seem to install any of the "search assistant" files. However I've found a solution which seems to do the job : 1) Copy "srchasst.inf" into "c:\windows\inf" 2) Right click srchasst.inf (install) 3) At prompt, put full XP CD into drive to allow srchasst.inf to copy relevant files onto PC 4) Run "regsvr32 %windir%\srchasst\srchui.dll" in regedit 5) Run script under "Method 1" from http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/123/...top-Search.html This approach looks like it's worked for me and not caused any problems. I'd be interested to know if there is a more simple solution.
