Ugly text on searchbox.....How to 86 it?
Sunday, February 20, 2011 by 2of3 | Discussion: Windows 7
This showed up after the latest windows update (the text "Search programs and files")
Anyone know how to get rid of it?

That's one of the things I liked about the Win7 searchbox. No silly text in it like there was on Vista. We all know what the thing is for, we don't need them to tell us.
And why is the font italicized? It throws off the whole look of any skin!

I have Win7 64 bit, and I don't have that text showing.

Grab some electrical tape, cut off a small strip, Place over offending image and press firmly.

It is showing on my Win 7 64-bit also. It is also showing on Win 7 32-bit on my netbook.

He means Microsoft Update not WB Update, MJ 
I have confirmed that the text is still there without Windowblinds activated (plain Aero)
Strange that some have it and others don't

Don't think you can get rid of it that I know of.
