brent or anyone--I have done this. My defaults are
correctly set to yahoo. Once I begin, now that I have
sp2, if I type a new subject into address bar it
automatically uses MSN as the search engine, and it is a
terrible search engine. This means going back and re-
entering Yahoo and basically getting no use out of
address bar. I want MSN off of my computer but there is
no visible uninstall in programs. Or to disable it...is
anyone else having this problem?? (I can launch in Yahoo
but address bar converts to MSN after first search.)
Thanks again!!
