IE7 tweaks - move addressbar and remove search pane

Hide the search pane:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\InfoDelivery\Restrictions]
"NoSearchBox"=dword:00000001   (set to zero or delete the DWORD to return to normal)

Move the menu bar to top of screen:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser]
"ITBar7Position"=dword:00000001  (set to zero or delete the DWORD to return to normal)

You will need to restart IE for the changes to take effect.

I didn't have a [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\InfoDelivery\Restrictions] "infodelivery branch or value" in my reg @ indicated location. Lots of settings that look similar located under the restrictions key..??

If you dont have that key,click start->run and type:'gpedit.msc'Go to user configuration,click then on the third option(I use another language and may not translate it correct),and then Windows components->Internet Explorer,fourth option from the bottom is:"Prevent Internet Explorer search box from dislpaying"....double click it and turn it on.

Enjoy

If \InfoDelivery\Restrictions don't exist, adding them with key : NoSearchBox"=dword:00000001 solves the problem.

No more "search pane" on the address bar.

fine

All of these refer to XP Pro and are not available in Home Edition.
