Google as default (and only) in Internet Explorer 9

Hello everyone,

I have done a lot of searchg but i can`t seem to find an answer to my problem.

I am trying to set Google as my default search engine in IE9 from a batch file or from a registry file. I can`t get it to work. I have tried several solutions but the search engine parts seem to be very different then in IE8 (and IE7).

When trying to find answers all the posts (or websites) i found showed a tutorial to install the Google IE9 addon manually but none of them talk about doing that by a batch file or from a registry file. I don`t really care how the it should be installed like with AutoIT, by batch, registry or something else.

I tried exporting the Search Scopes registry file for IE on a working pc but when i install that on another pc it seems to corrupt the search engines.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for reading.
