will this reg fix work on windows xp sp2 ???????????

 

I rather doubt it but stranger things have happened. I'm running XP Home and here's what mine looks like for comparison:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search]
"SearchAssistant "= "http://ie.search.msn.com/{SUB_RFC1766}/srchasst/srchasst.htm "
"CustomizeSearch "= "http://ie.search.msn.com/{SUB_RFC1766}/srchasst/srchcust.htm "

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search\SearchAssistant Explorer]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search\SearchAssistant Explorer\Main]

I'd suggest trying that first, just for laughs. Since we're dealing with the browser either one may work. The system it comes from may not be relevant.

 

I just tried your version to see if it worked...no problem. It changed my search engine...so I guess the answer is..yes, it will work.

 

johngkerr--If you mean how to change the default Search engine when you click Search (in IE) or enter a search item into the address bar, it might be simpler to click Search|Customize|and if the search engine you prefer is not offered, click "AutoSearch Settings" (bottom left), enter the Search page you prefer.

 

thank

well guess i will use IT and see thanks
