Problem: Search engine on my desktop

[Tim]

Well, I was finally able to find where this thing was
located in my start up menu. I "unchecked" it, and it is
no longer showing on my desktop. However, I still have
not been able to find where the actual program is stored.
I'll keep looking, but right now, I'm just happy to have
it off of my screen.
