Hi --
I've noticed that my Windows XP SP2 computer has recently "taken over"
the Ctrl+F shortcut. When I'm in *any* application and I want to use
the application's Ctrl+F combination to bring up the application's find
dialog box, Windows XP will oh so helpfully decide to pop up the "Search
Results - Computers" window (something I almost NEVER need to do).
Needless to say, this has been a major productivity killer.
XP pops up the "Search Results - Computers" box depending on how long I
hold down the Ctrl key. If I time things just right, I'll get the find
dialog box for the particular application I'm in, but 50% of the time I
don't.
How do I make XP stop doing this? TweakUI has been no help so far
(unless I'm missing something).
