Changing the Search button site

To change the site that IE4 loads when you press the Search button, open Regedit and go to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

Goto the Edit menu and choose New... then String Value. Call it "Search Bar" (without the quotes) then double click it and enter the full URL of the Search Engine you want to use for the value data.

The default is http://home.microsoft.com/search/search.asp
