"Search Desktop" go away!

[Guest Jim]

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

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,

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.
