    This will work for Windows 10 Home and Pro.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search]
    "AllowCortana"=dword:00000000
    "AllowSearchToUseLocation"=dword:00000000
    "ConnectedSearchUseWeb"=dword:00000000
    Reboot after applying the .reg file.

    MDL is seeing far too much of this recently. The 14393 thread as example, it's blatantly obvious that quite a few just bang a post in at end of the thread without having looked at anything, or searched the thread. Same things are asked over and over.

    Let's be honest, MDL has needed a major overhaul on a lot of things for quite some time. Design, categories, topics, rules and moderation.
    The active moderators we have are awesome, but a LOT of stuff slips through. The Chatbox also needs some form of moderation, as it seems to ignore any and all rules of MDL quite often.

    Oh oh, watch out, a Mountie has entered the fray...:eek:

    I think things are overall OK. Just need a rule which says people with less than a 100 post are not allowed to post anything :D:p:D:p
