I want my search to be MSN by default on start menu. HOW?

Ok when i type word in the search box the start menu show a option to search
the internet for that word. I installed netzero dial-up software and it
somehow has taken over the internet search now by default it uses netzero
which i don't like to use. How do i change it to MSN or by default search?

You need to set Internet Explorer's default search provider back to MSN (now
called Live Search). This guide should help.

I use the startmenu instant search to search the internet. Not IE 7 instant
search i have live search by default in IE 7 now but the start menu instant
search is using netzero search for internet.
