Get rid of the WinXP Search Assistant aka "the dog"
This post is intended for you if you answer at least one of the following questions with YES.
- You're not satisfied with the "Find Files and Folders" view in Windows XP?
- You liked the traditional Windows 2000 "Find Files and Folders" view?
- You don't like dogs?
Nothing against the cute little dog, but...
NO, the Windows XP search was the one features I really would never get used to.
And YES, you can switch to the old-fashioned / Windows 2000-style search view by copying the following lines in a .REG file and importing it into your registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState]
"Use Search Asst"="no"
That's it! Enjoy!
