IE Browser To Preview on Right

[JCO]

Anyway to get the IE Browser to Preview (searched items) on the right side
while all your found links remain listed on the left. This is one of the
features I liked better with Windows 2000, but can't do so since going to
WindowsXP.

Thanks

JCO,
Have you clicked the LOWER Favorites button on your IE browser on the
main toolbar?

If you're using http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&ar=iesearch
click the Search button. Results will show in the right hand pane.

To reset Internet Explorer settings
If you installed another Web browser after installing Internet
Explorer and Internet Tools, some of your Internet Explorer settings
may have changed. You can reset your Internet Explorer settings to
their original defaults, including your home page and search pages,
and choice of default browser, without changing your other browser's
settings.
1.. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2.. Click the Programs tab.
3.. Click the Reset Web Settings button.

It is still set up as default. Nothing has been customized. When I reset
to default, it does the same.
I'm just not happy with XP's way of doing the Search, when you press the
search button (that splits the screen). The old method, W2K, use to keep
your links on the left and the different pages on the right. Now, all the
links show up on the right (which I find dumb because you always have to use
your back button to get back). Also, when you use the back button, you
loose the search that was on the right side.

The tried to make it more sophisticated... messed it up.

I will give that a try.
I'm hitting the Search button from the toolbar. That's the one I like
because it gives you a split screen.
That is why I want the "Found Links" on the left and the websites on the
right.

I will get back to you on the effects of the Classic Search

Okay now I have a new problem, not sure if I should repost this.
On one computer, I changed the Internet search to "Classic". This works!
Yeah, this is what I wanted.
I like the classic search better because all the links stay on the left side
while the web pages are displayed on the right.

Now for the bad news.
I did this on another machine and now the search is blank. I can't select
customize either, because it brings up a blank page. How can I fix this?

Okay now I have a new problem, not sure if I should repost this.
On one computer, I changed the Internet search to "Classic". This
works! Yeah, this is what I wanted.
I like the classic search better because all the links stay on the
left side while the web pages are displayed on the right.

Now for the bad news.
I did this on another machine and now the search is blank. I can't
select customize either, because it brings up a blank page. How can
I fix this?


Are you searching from the Address bar? When you click the Search
button on the top toolbar (the magnifying glass) does the Search
Toolbar open as a left hand pane?

The light bulb just came on. Are you using Classic Search?

To disable the Search Companion feature and use the Classic
Internet Search feature from Internet Explorer 5.0:
1. In Internet Explorer, click the Search button on the toolbar.
2. Click Change Preferences, and then click Change Internet search
behavior.
3. Click With Classic Internet Search, and then click OK.
4. Restart Internet Explorer for the changes to take effect.

I'm just not happy with XP's way of doing the Search, when you
press the search button (that splits the screen). The old
method, W2K, use to keep your links on the left and the different
pages on the right. Now, all the links show up on the right
(which I find dumb because you always have to use your back
button to get back).
Also, when you use the back button, you loose the search that was

The guy gave me a link and it downloaded. I opened it and it contains 47
lines of code (registry edits).
I have it saved and can send it to your personal email account if need be.
Remember, this edit makes my browser function like it did when running
Windows 2000 (which I prefer). This would be the same as if you went to
Search>Customize>Select Classic Search.

What was the edit?

Okay now I have a new problem, not sure if I should repost this.
On one computer, I changed the Internet search to "Classic". This
works! Yeah, this is what I wanted.
I like the classic search better because all the links stay on the
left side while the web pages are displayed on the right.

Now for the bad news.
I did this on another machine and now the search is blank. I
can't select customize either, because it brings up a blank page.
How can I fix this?


Are you searching from the Address bar? When you click the
Search button on the top toolbar (the magnifying glass) does the
Search Toolbar open as a left hand pane?

The light bulb just came on. Are you using Classic Search?

To disable the Search Companion feature and use the Classic
Internet Search feature from Internet Explorer 5.0:
1. In Internet Explorer, click the Search button on the toolbar.
2. Click Change Preferences, and then click Change Internet
search behavior.
3. Click With Classic Internet Search, and then click OK.
4. Restart Internet Explorer for the changes to take effect.

It is still set up as default. Nothing has been customized.

I'm just not happy with XP's way of doing the Search, when you
press the search button (that splits the screen). The old
method, W2K, use to keep your links on the left and the
different pages on the right. Now, all the links show up on the
right (which I find dumb because you always have to use your
back button to get back).
Also, when you use the back button, you loose the search that
was on the right side.
