I installed MS Desktop Search. Now everytime I press the Search button
in my file explorer, it tries to use Desktop Search to find the files.
However, this is dumb because 99% of the time, the folder I am
searching isn't indexed. How can I get the search button to bring up
the old Windows search?

I know that I can press the "Search Companion" link at the bottom of
the Desktop Search pane but that is an extra annoying step. I just
want my Explorer back!
