Windows Help window keeps popping up

No apparent reason, the Windows Help window is open without asking whenever I try to enter the information in Word, the e-mail program, etc..  It is very difficult to use these programs (I basically have to close the Help window after each keystroke to enter the following key sequence).  I can't find any help in the documentation of Windows Vista.  Please help me solve this problem!

I finally found a solution!

You can completely disable Windows XP search for a single user.  If you just want to do it for the current user, follow these steps:

===========
1. Select run from the start menu.
2. Type "cmd" and press ENTER.
3. Type "reg Export HKU backup.reg" and press ENTER.
4. Type "reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoFind /t REG_DWORD /d 1" and press ENTER.
5. closure of the session and log in.
===========

You'll notice that you can't find any options to search anywhere in Windows, after you follow these steps.  However, it is only good for the current user.  If you want to do this for each user, you must follow these steps for each user listed in the hive HKEY_USERS (include. BY DEFAULT).  You can find these users by typing "reg Query HKU" and pressing Enter.  You can ignore all of the Scriptures that end in '_Classes', but for each other, replace "HKCU" in step 4 with 'HKU\ '. By DEFAULT' (replace. By DEFAULT, with the user, as required).
