Open an Internet Explorer window. Click on the search icon in the toolbar.
At the top of the search column that appears, is the word "Customize."
Click on that. Use the options in the screen that appears to select the
search engine of your choice.

I have the same problem. Mine was changed without my knowledge and the
customize button only brings up another "Estelle Reyna" search page
with no configuration options. Is there another way to reset the
search site?

Sure is, Jim. MVP Sandi Hardmeier has an extensive website that covers the
various types of internet hijackings, including the hijacking of your
search engine preferences:

Also, Kelly Theriot has a script at her site. The description says "Set IE
Search to Defaults" (line 229 on left side of page):

Thanks for the great links. In case anyone else with this problem is
interested, this was a site called marketdart that changed half a
dozen entrys in the registry. Again, thanks for the help.
