OK, here are the how to steps, easy to follow.

If using XP Pro:

Start > Run > gpedit.msc

User Configuration
\Administrative Templates
\Windows Components
\Internet Explorer

“Prevent the Internet Explorer search box from displaying”
Set to ENABLED

For other OS versions:

I should note for non-XP Pro users that the Group Policy object that is created and effected by the suggestion above could be modified by hand using Regedit. (You need to add the new key). In “.REG” file format that could also be used the setting can be found here:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Infodelivery\Restrictions]

Copy and paste into Notepad. Save it as .reg file and then just double-click to save it into registry.
