Search Settings

[Mtaylor511]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to set the XP Search settings to the original Windows format rather than the over the top XP one?

Very simple you'd think but can't find anything anywhere saying how to do it.

Thanks.

Mark

Or...

Use TweakUI, Explorer section to set Classic Search:

Hi thanks.

unfortunately these are blocked by our firewall so can't access it...any chance of giving the details rather than the link?

TweakUI is blocked by your firewall?

Hi,
no not Tweak the other site you gave.

I'm basically wanting to do this for a standard Ghost image for all my clients and I don't want to leave additional/unsupported tools like TweakUI on the machines.
