Want to remove Desktop search of microsoftDesktop search panel on my taskbar. I tried to remove it using add-remove program but there is no entry there. I also tried to block it using msconfig, but no use... Can anyone help me in getting rid of this desktop search which neither like nor use. I tried to contact technical support of microsoft through email, but got message that i need paid support to contact them :-( Its strange to know that i need to pay microsoft for removing a piece of software which they have installed it on my machine without my permission... Please help me. Thanks in advance. -Ajay.

Once all the files have been indexed (which it does when your computer is idle, and might take days) you can probably do a very powerful search, just like Google Desktop. > Thank you Gordon.

Sadly, that doesn't seem possible. Or is it, and I am missing something? On Thu, 25 Oct 2007 02:21:03 -0700, Ajay.
