Windows Explorer find function - help!

[YargBeast]

(This is about Windows Explorer not Internet Explorer)

I am trying to find a way to make Windows Explorer work
more like the old function in regards to the find feature.

In Windows 95 & 98 the find feature (CTRL-F) brings up a
separate window to search for files in.

Starting with Windows Millennium, the find feature in
Windows Explorer changes the Explorer Bar on the left side
from Folders into a Search menu instead of opening another
window. This method is rather inconvenient and I would
like to find a way to change it. At work I am forced to
use Windows Millennium (because that's what we have
license for) and using Windows Explorer + Find becomes
more aggravating every time I have to use it.

Does anyway know a method, through the registry or
otherwise, to modify the newer Windows Explorer functions
to work like the older way - with a separate window when
you use the Find feature?

Press the Windows key (the one with the flag) and F simultaneously

Is there any other way to do that if you have torn the
Windows keys off your keyboard? O_o
Or a way to reprogram teh shortcut keys from registry?
