Changing Default Search Options

[Jeff Carver]

When I'm searching a folder, I almost never want to search its
subfolders, yet the default action is to do just that. Anyone know a
Registry hack that will force the "Search Subfolders" checkbox under
"Search Options" to be unchecked by default?

TIA,
Jeff Carver

It's an option under "Advanced" -Search Sub folders.

Open Search>All Files and Folders>More Advanced Options>Under which
uncheck the box against 'Search Subfolders'.
