Change the Default Action of Find/Search

I have a question about Get
Find/Search to Look Where You Want:
Pretty straightforward question:
Is there a way to change when I hit ctrl F or bring up search or whatever to default
to All Files and Folders rather than having to click it every time?

My solution to this was to have XP revert to the "classic" search panel (as found
in Windows 2000, etc.) that displays the "Search/Containing Text/Look In" boxes straightaway
without having to check a radio button first.
The labourious way to enable "classic" mode is via the Microsoft TweakUI power tool.
A quicker method is to edit the registry directly. See:
