Hi;
I appreciate the product
however, I'm getting this particular "detection"
every time I scan the system,
and I finally traced it to how it occurred
and now I'm getting around to reporting it back:
One specific legitimate registry key can be manually created in the registry in XP Home or simply through a GPO in XP Pro & Win2K Pro
the key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoFind
this key is created by opening Group Policy Editor and navigating to:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\
and modifying the item:
"Remove Search From the Start Menu"
from "Not Configured" to "Enabled"
the thing is, that I've also:
turned on: Remove "Documents" from the Start Menu,
and: Remove "My Pictures" from the Start Menu,
and: Remove "My Music" from the Start Menu,
also
I've turned off: User Tracking
I've turned off: Personalized menus
I've turned off: "Notification area cleanup" ("inactive" Icon hiding)
I've turned on: "Do not keep history of recently opened documents"
and I've turned on: "Clear history of recently opened documents at log off"
and the only one that's detected is that "Search" is removed from the start menu
so wouldn't that make it a false positive,
as the others aren't also detected as functionality changes?
I think more people would be freaked out if their recent document history & my documents item & my pictures item disappeared rather than just the lowly old "Search item.
:thanks:
Keep up the good work!
