Outlook 2007 Instant Search NAG bar

[steveb]

Outlook has a yellow bar across the top that says "Click here to enable
Instant Search"

How can I get rid of the yellow bar that looks like Warning, without
installing the search engine ?

(I tried enabling it, just get rid of the Yellow bar. My hard drive never
stopped grinding for 2 days. I finally unistalled it because I didn't
really care about fast searching - - - I was just trying to get rid of the
Yellow bar)


Thank You

Go to Tools->Options.
Click on the "Other" tab.
Click on the "Advanced Options..." button.
Uncheck "Show prompts to enable Instant Search"

You can disable this prompt using Outlook's Tools, Options, Other, Advance
Options dialog box if WDS is not installed. If the checkbox is missing from
the dialog you can edit the registry to disable it.

The reg key, if needed, can be found at the url above.

Thank You, to both of you

Why didn't they let us Right_Click and answer "No ThankYou" There are many
computers that do not need the load of the indexing service running because
they are already very slow.

We have a brand new computer with Vista for my wife with Office 2007 and it
is slow compared to 3 year old XP computer it replaced.
