Wes;
I found it by visiting
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Then [Ctrl]+[F]
search
[Enter]
Then [Enter] repeatedly until I found
Line 151. Set "Search" Advanced Options as Default
| I already had all the *.reg & *.vbs files downloaded...
Be advised that these files are updated by MVP Kelly from time to time; sometimes the file-name is changed. Also, completely new
files are occasionally added to the list, while some files are removed.

| Hey, thank you! That was it. Exactly what I was looking for. I don't know why I couldn't find
| it. I looked twice. Well, Kelly does have a lotta stuff.
| I already had all the *.reg & *.vbs files downloaded and I already had searchadvancedoptions.vbs
| in my Windows directory. All I had to do was create a shortcut to searchadvancedoptions.vbs, change
| the icon and place it on my Start Menu. Whoopee.. It's working again like a champ. Thanks again.
| Merry Christmas to you!
