Your method restored the very powerful and useful search capabilities in Windows Explorer. I recommend to all to disable the searching of .zip and .cab files by running regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll and regsvr32 /u cabview.dll. Search then will work quickly and efficiently. Excellent!

On the other hand, "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows Desktop Search\\DS\\ShowStartSearchBand = DWORD:0" had the effect of cancelling the desktop search in the file manager (or whatever its called), which is the effect I was looking for. For me, setting
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows Desktop Search\\DB\\UseWinKey = DWORD:0"

had the effect that when writing a message in Outlook, when I clicked shift-F, a desktop search window opened: not what I expected…
