In RegEdit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows Desktop Search\DS and set "ShowStartSearchBand" to 0.

I even found an example on the Web that said to creatre a key called Cabinkey, still did not work. You are the third site I have found that gives the same procedure and it isn't working on my XP SP3. I open Windows Explorer, click on search and the Windows Search with the green button labled Desktop (I don't like this search), search companion with the dog is at the bottom which I have to select and then a new window opens. This Windows serach has never worked properly as it does not find many of the files I am looking for. I like the old one better. Thanks... I have tried this and it doesn’t work.

Another example of online apps winning over Uncle Bill. Same thing for gmail vs. Outlook. No contest. Well actually I have gone full tilt to Google Pack for online organization.
