Hi! I'm just playing around with the Explorer Search and it seems that the Classic Search does never-ever use the advanced search while the blue backgrounded Search does. Is this a feature or simply a bug? Quite annoying because I don't like the look. At least the dog has gone By the way: does anyone know what the key UsageCount;HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\UsageCount is good for? adieu eMaze
