removing Search Box on IE7

I've been using Google Toolbar for a long time and have gotten used to it, so don't like the clutter of other search boxes as toolbars.

Here's how to remove Search Box on Internet Explorer 7 (IE7)

1) run Group Policy Editor using ... Start Menu --> Run --> gpedit.msc
2) Browse to
User Configuration -->
Administrative Templates -->
Windows Compoments -->
Internet Explorer.

3) On the right pane, double click on the setting
"Prevent the Internet Explorer search box from displaying" and change it to Enabled.

Restart IE.
