My Search from My Way

[Mike Gaddis]

I want to use MSN as my search engine and have the results
of a search be listed in the browser window. However, I
got My Search dumped into my browser and every search I do
opens to the My Search website with the results from
several different search engines. How can I get rid of
this as a default search engine/site? I have deleted
references to it in the registry, as well as references to
My way which is the parent website to My Search, but the
deletion made no difference. This is apparently a
parasite website, but how do I get rid of it? Any
suggestion would be appreciated.

Type: REG_SZ (String Value)

Explorer\SearchUrl]
Name: '(Default)'
Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value: (i.e. 'http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=%s ')

I hope this helps
