OMG I Hate BING

[banjoman]

Having spent the best part of the day surfing the net looking for a solution to set Google as the Default Search Provider on IE8 via group policy, I'm ready to throw in the towel.

 

I have tried everything even the microsoft KB How to create custom .adm or .admx files to add search providers to the toolbar search box in Internet Explorer 7

 

 

For the sake of my sanity has anyone got this working, if so how....I'm now starting to rock gently while dribbling as my invisible brother whispers in my ear!

 

Cheers

Haven't tried it myself but a quick search found Default Search provider in Internet Explorer 8 Via GP? - Server Fault, would this be any help?

Try this. Nicked from somewhere on t'internet and works for IE7 and IE8 here. Rename to .adm.
