I am having a similar problem to http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...hreadid=185103

I can't disable the AutoSearch from address bar facility.
If I click on a vbscript link on my web page it redirects to MSN!!

If I change the When Searching setting in Advanced options,
then go to a different website, IE changes itself back to the
previous setting, which was nothing selected at all

I have tracked this down in the registry to the Dword
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\AutoSearch

It doesn't matter what I do (rename/deelte/modify)
it always restores itself to 8, which according to the
documentation isnt even a valid value

The Repair IE function doesn't work and I've tried importing
cartain keys from other PCs that dont have the problem.

Does IE restore bits of the registry from DLLs?
If so I suppose I could have a corrupted DLL somehow.??

Any ideas?
