xp - Change the default search engine in Internet explorer?

[ben2ong2]

Default search engine of Microsoft Internet explorer is MSN. But there are better search engines available. I like You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login and you may have your own preference. Recently I came across article that indicated how to change the default search engine through registry. Open registry editor by going to START-RUN and entering regedit and navigate to following three keys separately and change it as shown below: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]"Search Page"="You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login""Search Bar"="You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL]""="You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search]"SearchAssistant"="You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login"
