When I go to "My Computer"(Desktop) then I double click on either my "C" or "D" drives the "Search" companion comes up and it's annoying!! Is there a way to disable this or correct this?

Thanks for your help!!!

To turn off the animated screen character in Search Companion:

Click Start, and then click Search.
In the Search Companion dialog box, click Change Preferences.
In the How do you want to use Search Companion box, click Without an animated screen character.

The screen character is no longer displayed in Search Companion.

NOTE:You can also right-click the screen character, and then click Turn off the animated character in the You rang box.

Try this registry edit:

Click Start->Run->Regedit
Find the key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\CabinetState.

In the right pane, look for or create a string value called: Use Search Asst set the value to: no

Enjoy,
