Search engine puppy?

Question

on my old computer when i hit my search a little dog would come up and help me with finding what i was searching for, now i have the same system but have lost the dog and the settings that i used to use. How can i get him back?

Answer 1

Are you still running Windows XP? The puppy was a "search companion" in XP. If you're on XP, click Start --> Search --> Files and Folders. In the Search box, click Change Preferences. Click "with animated companion".

(darn I walked through it to make sure it worked, now I have to figure out how to get rid of it on my system...)
