If using XP Pro:
Start, Run, gpedit.msc
User Configuration
\Administrative Templates
\Windows Components
\Internet Explorer
"Prevent the Internet Explorer search box from displaying"
Set to ENABLED
For other OS versions:
I should note for non-XP Pro users that the Group Policy object that is created and effected by the suggestion above could be modified by hand using Regedit. (You need to add the new key). In ".REG" file format that could also be used the setting can be found here:
Code:
REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Infodelivery\Restrictions] "NoSearchBox"=dword:00000001
