re: Change the Default Action of Find/Search Wednesday, January 25, 2006 at 5:57 am Posted by Keronn (4 messages posted) 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.
