Old Style Search in Windows Explorer

[Tom]

Hi,

Would anyone know a way to override the default search
behavior in explorer and go back to the old windows 98
style of search, instead of having the really cute
interface for help, I would prefer the straight forward
one that I used to have.

Thanks,

Tom

the easiest way is to use Tweakui for XP. You can download it from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp Once
installed you launch it from Programs->Powertoys and follow the example here
