the search button on the tool bar for Internet Explorer automatically is defaulted to go to the MSN search page. What registry setting do you change to make it go elsewhere(like yahoo or google) and what format does it have to be in.

Open Internet Explorer, go to Tools->Internet Options->General Tab.
You can change the default Home Page from that tab, without going to the registry.

Hope this helps.

This is the correct registry key in regedit. Always make a BU of the registry before hand. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search. Modify both the keys there for example http://www.google.com this should solve your problem.
