Uninstalling Windows Desktop Search 4.0?

[Larc]

How can I uninstall this annoying program and go back to the old WinXP search?
WDS 4.0 does NOT appear in Add or Remove Programs.

There's got to be a method for uninstalling since I thought I may have
inadvertently deleted the KB940157 file from Add or Remove Programs and
installed WDS again to see if it would show up. It didn't. However, KB940157
uninstalled the original instance before installing the new.

This is on an older XP laptop, and I have no intention of turning on indexing
and slowing it down even more.

Thanks for any help.

See if "Window Search 4.0" is listed in Add/Remove Programs; also make sure
the Show Updates box is checked.

I posted here a little too soon. Found a site with precise instructions and
even an uninstall file to download if needed (I needed it).
