Is there a way to modify the UI on Windows Desktop Search? Programmatically
or through a xml or css file? maybe xaml?
Can I remove or Add an Item to the Other Drop Down.
Can I remove the Music search? I don't work for a music company or radio
station.
As well as the web button can I get rid of that as well?

Hello Colin,

Use Spy to get the windows name and then send the WM_SHOWWINDOW message with
FALSE in WParam, which just hide the window

I'm sorry I don't quite follow.

Is there a way to modify the current UI of the windows search to a home
grown version or skin?

I am a developer, I am just looking for some way that I would be able to
modify the interface so that it would suit my buisness needs.

You speak of using a parent app and modifying some child windows. I have
never done this, How would I go about doing so?

I assume that this code will allow me to remotely control the functions on
the child window by sending messages to invoke a "button" or control. I also
assume I use the pointer that I get from the EnumDesktopWindows function as
the reference to the Windows Desktop Search pannel.

How would I display the desktop search in my pannel? Note: This will be a
desktop application used on an intranet.
