Change Shortcut Key - Windows + F

I have Vista and I am supposed to be able to bring up the Windows Explorer Advanced Search Box by pressing Windows (the flag key) + F. However, instead when I press those keys I get a small box labeled "Google" on the top Left and "Options" on the top right, and an entry form box. I presume this is some form of Google search. However I need to be able to access Windows Explorer Advanced Search box. How can I change my computer's settings so that Windows + F brings up Windows Explorer Advanced Search and not a Google search?

Thanks.

I got my questioned answered on an MS Vista Forum:

Open Control Panel, click Classic View in the Tasks Pane.
Double click Default Programs.
Select Set Your Default Programs.

Select the Windows Search Explorer in that list.
Select Set this program as default.
Click OK.
