Windows Explorer search function - how do I change it?

(This is about Windows Explorer not Internet Explorer) I am trying to find a way to make Windows Explorer work more like the old function in regards to the find feature. In Windows 95 & 98 the find feature (CTRL-F) brings up a separate window to search for files in. Starting with Windows Millennium, the find feature in Windows Explorer changes the Explorer Bar on the left side from Folders into a Search menu instead of opening another window. This method is rather inconvenient and I would like to find a way to change it. At work I am forced to use Windows Millennium (because that's what we have license for) and using Windows Explorer + Find becomes more aggravating every time I have to use it. Does anyway know a method, through the registry or otherwise, to modify the newer Windows Explorer functions to work like the older way - with a separate window when you use the Find feature?
