Explorer's Search - Advanced Option


Recommended Posts

When I turn off the Search Assistant by using this

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState]
"Use Search Asst"="no"

When you search system folders or hidden files, the options are turn off each time you start open the search.

With SearchAsst enabled, these options can be saved for future search.

so how can i enable the Advanced options for "Search system folder", "Search hidden files and folders", and "Search Subfolders" and also have the checked box for Advanced Options.

;Enable Searching Of Hidden Folders
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"SearchSystemDirs"=dword:00000001
"SearchHidden"=dword:00000001
"IncludeSubFolders"=dword:00000001

will enable the search options, but, as for enabling the Advanced Options all the time, I haven't found a way.
