Set ws = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Dim ws, n, p, itemtype, MyBox, Title, vbdefaultbutton

p = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\g\"

itemtype = "REG_SZ"

n = ";http://www.google.com/search?q=%s"

Ws.RegWrite p, n, itemtype

p = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\g\ "

itemtype = "REG_SZ"

itemtype = "REG_SZ"

n = "%2B"

Ws.RegWrite p, n, itemtype

Title = "To use, type in: g followed by a space then the search term."

MyBox = MsgBox(Title,4096,"Google Search from the Address Bar")

kbgoogle.vbs

Wow, before moving to Firebird/fox I always wanted to use Google as the default search engine. I wasn't about to DL the Google bar though. <_<

I wish I knew more about editing the registry to try an explorer equivalent.

can do it with explorer.
