Whenever I click on the "Search the Web" icon on the Outlook tool bar, I get
this error message: "You do not have a World Wide Web search page registered
on your computer." I do have Google registered as my home page in Internet
Properties. I cannot find any way to rectify what the error message
complains of. What should I do so that when I click on this icon, I can go
to www.google.com ?

Hi Elizabeth

FWIW...It is not really a feature of XP. It is a feature of Internet
Explorer.

Then it is working exactly as it should. If you don't want google,
CHANGE the default home page.

That,s the problem, when i change the default page it does not change in
Outlook , it still remains as google, like if i change the default to
microsoft.com in defautl page in EI, when i go to the web icon on outlook it
comes up with google.com.

You are hitting Apply? And the browser opens the new site as Home? All I
can figure is you have some add-on interfering. Maybe active tool-bars
or the like. You don't happen to be running two browsers and have
another one set to be default and pointed at google?

No, I asked if you are using addon toolbars that may interferring.
Google toolbar, Yahoo toolbar are examples. Other malware also exists
that install "search helpers". Have you checked that none of that type
of addons are removed, NOT to reinstall them.

Oops, typo "Have you checked that none of that type
of addons are removed, NOT to reinstall them." Should be
"Have you checked that anyone of that type
of addons are removed, NOT to reinstall them."
