Restoring boot.ini

After crashing my XP box by reformatting the C: drive to install Vista on it (XP was installed on an other drive), I'm posting the content of my local boot.ini file.

Inline Search for IE

Seems interesting, not tested with IE7.

"Inline Search is an extremely useful free add-on for Internet Explorer that mimicks Firefox's search behavior i.e. it turns searching into a web page into a non modal research experience coupled with a search as you type facility. It integrates flawlessly into IE (version 5.5 or above), giving it that little extra that makes you a lot more efficient when you are looking for a specific piece of information."
