The Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 198279 documents "How to change the default AutoSearch search page" (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;198279). The procedure documented in the article involves editing a registry key, which is hard for the common user, but which can be implemented easily when an ISP is customizing IE for its customers. Users can also download a "toolbar". -- Christian Huitema ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
