Personally I think the Microsoft search dog is cute but apparently there are quite a few of you out there that don't like it much. Well if you'd like to remove that mutt it's pretty easy...

First load up regedit (Start -> Run then type regedit and press the OK button) and follow this path HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Explorer -> CabinetState. From there create a new String value and enter this as its name Use Search Asst, after that's done give it the value no and exit.

Every time you search now the dog will be gone.

You can also do it by right-clicking the Dog and clicking the option that comes up to dispell him.
