Search button on toolbar

How do I change what search engine comes up in the left
window when I click the Search Button from the toolbar.
If I click Customize it says MSN, but I get a search
screen from MyGeek.Com.
Thank you

Hi Monte,

Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Options > Programs > "Reset Web Settings"
Click the Search button in the toolbar > Customize > AutoSearch Settings >
Select a provider from the list.

If this does not help, try deleting the following registry keys:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Search Bar
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Search Page
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Default_Page_URL
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Default_Search_URL
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search\SearchAssistant
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search\CustomizeSearch
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Search Bar

After configure the search to MSN.

Ramesh, 'Reset Web Settings' did work, but minutes later
I saw the MyGeek.com search engine reload itself. Any
idea on how I can stop this from happening?
Thank you my friend.

You need to uninstall the MyGeek toolbar/searchbar. If you are unable to
uninstal it, use BHODaemon and get rid of the BHO:

If mygeek.dll exists in your hard disk, plz send me a copy to
