SP1 - Change default search

Hi,

After installing SP1 I wanted to change my "default search".

I went to:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941946 and read the article, but when I get
to:
3. Select the search protocol, and then click Change program.
4. Select the program that you want as the default program for handling the
search protocol, and then click OK.

My options are "grayed out", preventing me changing anything.

Advise?

Regards,
FB

I have Google Desktop Search installed. It was there prior to my SP1
upgrade. Do I need to reinstall?

I re-installed "over the top", and now have Google as my default. Should
have thought of that first but ................
