How can I fix my "search"

Featured Replies

It used to be that when I would right-click on a directory and select "search", I'd be presented with the standard Windows search.

However, after installing Desktop Search 4 (I needed better search functionality in Outlook), I now get the Windows Desktop Search. I then have to scroll down and click "Click here to use the Search Companion."

I want a right-click on directory to go straight to the "Search Companion". I don't want to see the Windows Desktop Search.

Anyway to do this?

Just to answer my own question,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Desktop Search\DS\ShowStartSearchBand=0

will set the companion as default instead of desktop search.
