Guest Jim Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Well, I grabbed some Windows Updates and now have an insidious little box on my Taskbar labeled Search Desktop, and I can't find where to turn it off. I went into msconfig and unchecked Startup for Windows Search, but the little box is still there. I can't find anything running under Task Manager that looks suspicious; what can I do to regain my Taskbar space? Thanks in advance!

Did you check in Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs for an entry named Windows Desktop Search? Uninstall it if it's there. Good luck Nepatsfan

Right click on the taskbar & choose toolbars, there should be an entry for Windows Search Deskbar, remove the tick & it'll get rid of the box. HTH, Edna.
Guest Jim Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Re: "Search Desktop" go away! Thank YOU, Edna, Now why didn't I think of that? Works like a charm. I prefer this to uninstalling the utility; who knows, it might come in handy someday.
