IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs.

SUMMARY
This article describes how to change the default Search bar size in Internet Explorer.



MORE INFORMATION
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it.

To change the default Search bar size in Internet Explorer, follow these steps:  Using Registry Editor, modify the ExplorerBar value data in following registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

so that the second pair of values is one of the following values:

00 - normal screen

01 - normal screen

02 - half screen

03 - 3/4 screen

04 - full screen

For example, if you want to change the default Search bar size to half screen and the ExplorerBar value data is currently "ff 01 00 00 61 93 45 00," change the 01 value to "02" (without quotation marks) so that the value data reads "ff 02 00 00 61 93 45 00." Quit Registry Editor, quit Internet Explorer if it is running, and then restart your computer.
