IE 8 and Corrupted Seaarch Settings

I'm trying to help someone solve the corrupted search settings problem in
IE8 on an XP installation. I've Googled and Googled and have uncovered
numerous "solutions" which involve editing the registry and using the group
policy editor. Needless to say, none of those solutions work in this case
and they also don't work for most other people too.

So does anyone know of a new and effective way of solving this issue?

Re: IE 8 and Corrupted Seaarch Settings

Should we know what "the corrupted search settings problem" is? There's
nothing wrong with search settings on my copy of IE 8.

One of malware's many tricks is to change the default search engine and
then make it difficult to use any other search engine. Does this sound
like the problem at hand?
