    Win XP IE Search Button URL

    When I click in internet explorer the search button I go to the wrong url address. Does anyone know where in the registry the url is stored. I know what is should be (http://ie.search.msn.com/srchasst.htm) but I can't find where it is stored in the registry.
    Thanks.

    What page are you getting? You can customize Search in the left pane, normally.

    Before you do anything, scan for Spyware:

    Don't forget to update it!

    All I get is "Sorry, the page cannot be found.
    Please try one of the following:

    Check the Web address (URL) to make sure it is correct (capitalization and punctuation are important), and then click your browser's Refresh button.
    Go to MSN Search home page.
    Click your browser's Back button to return to the previous page."

    I don't know the url...
    Do you know where in the registry I can find the url used by the search button?
    Thanks for your relpy..

    First you tell me if you've tried customizing the search page and scanning for spyware.
