Disable the WDS prompt

[Daniel Escapa [MS]]

Q:
I don't want to install Windows Desktop search and I want OneNote to stop
asking me about it every boot. (Or: I just want to turn off indexing in
OneNote and use slow search instead)


A:
Set these regkeys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\OneNote\Options\Other\EnableWDSIndexing
= 0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\OneNote\Options\Other\ShowWDSUpdateWarning
= 0

Some news readers might block that file type : (

Please take this file and rename it from .re_ to .reg. That should work.
