Hello, We applied the hotfix detailed in KB2171141 [Internet Explorer 8 restores the search provider settings when the "Prevent Internet Explorer Search box from displaying" Group Policy setting is enabled] and successfully fixed the problem. We have now noticed, however, that the problem has returned as a result of KB2360131 [MS10-071: Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer]. File ieframe.dll is updated from version 8.0.6001.23037 to 8.0.6001.23060. We're using Windows Server 2003 SP2 with IE8. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know if there is a new hotfix in the pipeline or workaround? Thanks, JPF75
