March 18, 200917 yr I just tried this registry tweak I found here:;----- Enable Classic Search[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState]"FullPath"=dword:00000001"FullPathAddress"=dword:00000001"Use Search Asst"="no""Settings"=hex:0c,00,02,00,1b,01,e7,77,60,00,00,00And... it doesn't change anything in Search. What am I missing here? Why is it labeled "Enabled Classic Search"?Thanks!James
March 18, 200917 yr Do you have ever seen this nasty little dog in XP when you`re doing a search?Your Regtweak is used to get rid of him (i don`t like dogs even...).
March 18, 200917 yr Try this to get rid of the dog and to enable advanced search by default.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant]"UseAdvancedSearchAlways"=dword:00000001REM Sets the option to always use the advanced files and folder search config0 = Disable1 = Enable"SocialUI"=dword:00000000REM - Sets the option to use the search assistant (dog)0 = Disable1 = Enable
March 18, 200917 yr Author Try this to get rid of the dog and to enable advanced search by default.That I already did - I got rid of the dog and enabled advanced search by default. What I don't understand is why the registry tweaks that I quoted above are labeled "classic search". They don't do anything related to search (except, maybe, the dog).Any idea who came up with that misleading label?More importantly - how do I get REAL classic search? (you know, the one that looks like the in the W2K)Thanks!James
March 22, 200917 yr Like this?: http://www.guidebookgallery.org/pics/gui/s.../win2000pro.pngHonestly I am not sure... About the title of the tweaks you found or how to get win2000 search exactly.I generally use reg monitors to find my reg settings, its generally faster then searching the net. I also can see what other changes are being make (HKLM vs HKCU etc)The XP advanced search screen is pretty darn close to the old Win2k version, so sorry I didn't look any further...EDITOK I looked and tested the "Use Search Asst" reg and it does work, and provides the search window that I linked to above. Only this one key is needed for the classic search...It didn't work the first time I tried but I am chalking that up to a spelling error. I installed tweakui and performed the change, regmon only recorded that 1 key. I removed tweakui and retested to confirm. My testing wasn't of the caliber I usually test, I did not reimage. I ran and removed the tweak with tweakui before running regmon, so maybe there is another key that is required for this to work. I just did this quick and dirty at home.If this is not working for you, could it be a gpo conflict? I don't know just shooting in the dark Edited March 22, 200917 yr by dandirk
