Most annoying problem
I am using XP home, with IE7.
In the search area beside the address bar, I would like to use Google as the default. After a couple of days it keeps changing back to the "Search the web" as the default setting. I have removed it so many times I have lost count. How do I set it so it will not change at all? Its becoming very annoying. |

This doesn't address your core question, sorry, but is there a reason you can't use firefox? The search bar is google by default, and can be set to a bunch of other things pretty easily.

I don't use IE7, but Microsoft is in competition with Google, so my guess is that they're not going to make it easy...
If you're open to change, I also suggest Firefox as a fantastic alternative.

I have Firefox. I am finding it takes way to long to load. Even though I have a P4 1.7gig.
There are some features I like about it. And of course there are stuff I don't like. Just a thought is there a way to remove that search bar? |

Now I can't use Firefox. Had to remove it, it had a bug in it. Couldn't close it at all, except the 3 key solute.

Hmmm, I've always found it very stable. Do you have the most recent version (2.0.0.6) installed?

Firefox is actually faster at loading pages than I.E. I tested it with sucess.
And apart from the odd crash i dont have any problems, but the Tab Backup is great. |
