The Desktop search enables itself in the registry. Maybe speak with your admin and see if they can change the setting for you.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('119','Jamie Le Souef'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('119','Jamie Le Souef','Unfortunately i don\' know of a way to do it, or if it can be done at all.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the copy of windows that i changed the above settings on wasn't fresh, but it defiantly was located at HKEY_CURRENT_USER. I'll have a look on at both locations and see if they both can do the same thing.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('115','Jamie Le Souef'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('115','Jamie Le Souef','Thanks for that Peter.
