Symptoms

After you use an administrative template file (.adm file) to configure Live Search as one of the search providers in Windows Internet Explorer 7, the list of search providers includes two entries for Live Search.

Note This problem occurs even after you delete the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes
