changed ie6 search page

[Rick]

My search pape was switched to one I do not wish to use.
I have located the registry entires with the following:
www.search-1.net/search.html They appear in three
different locations. I backed up the registry and
deleted a two locations. ( found the 3 after using the
find feature) Do I only delete these or do I need to add
lines to get back to the MS defaults?

Tks
