Microsoft Kills Clippy !!!

The day has finally come, no longer will you have a friendly paper clip constantly offering to help make your document creating experience better.

No more will you see a bouncing piece of bent metal with googly eyes bouncing at the corner of your screen, begging you to let it help fix the formatting, or suggest a particular word. Clippy, the Microsoft Office Assistant, has been put to rest. His smiling visage will no longer greet us when writing a letter. The Microsoft Office team confirmed that with 2007, Clippy is officially done and gone.

Starting life in 1997 with Office 97, he was a constant annoyance to document users for nearly a full decade.

I kill that dog usually, To remove the annoying dog and to bring up the standard search you can do this

Code:

Regedit your way to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState

Right-click an empty space in the right pane and select New > String Value 

Name the new value Use Search Asst

Double-click this new value, and enter no as it's value data

you can also shut off the animated character XP gives the option but it does not give you the old type of search which i find better.

oh! Sad ending to the clippy. :-(

He was givin good tips to the new comers. Anyways..advanced users always had choice to turn it off....

They shouldn't have killed it.

Thank God!!!..I mean Just thank M$ for this

I will surelly miss, him, more than that kids will for sure... i have seen, kid in home speds lot of time playing with this help full guyes...

Pataa hai tarey bhai... I always kill the kutta directly by my registry file which includes...

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState] 
"Use Search Asst"="no"

I found him too annoying...always distracting me while working...
