Does anybody know how to bring back the blue-color working-class view for Search window, without any sniffing dogs and options for music and dancing search through the Internet?

AskWoody LoungerNovember 28, 2001 at 4:52 pm #554710The XP PowerToys include an option to revert back to “Classic” search in Explorer….sorry, no nice blue, but no sniffing dogs either. The option in TweakUI for XP changes a registry key that I can’t recall offhand, but it’s worth installing anyway. Personally, that balloon help is for the dogs.
