  • Rolling back from Outlook 12 (2007 beta release 2)
    • ]]>     I like my browser bars to be tidy, infact I think I have a touch of desktop OCD. For example Outlook has to be the first item on my task bar and I hate it when you have 3 or 4 instances of the same application (i.e MSN or IE) that won’t ‘group’!   So, having the Google toolbar installed means I have the search box from that app AS WELL as the default search box that IE7 has in the top right. Yuk.

    I’ve been meaning to find out how to remove the search box from IE7 for a month or so now and have just gotten around to it.

    HKCU\Software\Polices\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\

    Create new key InfoDelivery
    Create new key under InfoDelivery called Restrictions
    Create new DWORD under Restrictions called NoSearchBox with value = 1

    Restart IE7 and voila, no built in search box.

    Will getting a Macbook help my cluttered desktop woes I wonder? (Yes, i’m still fishing for ways to convince myself I NEED one :p)
