Disable "Click Here to enable Instant Search"

hi,
I have office 2007,
So now I have the "Click here to enable Instant Search" wasting space
on my screen.
I no longer have to be wary of accidentally clicking on the prompt -- I allowed Instant Search to be installed when our workplace was upgraded to Office 2007, and regretted it within a matter of days; I uninstalled it but was frustrated by the prompt remaining in Outlook.
It took me a few hours and a couple trips in safe mode to remove it.
Is there no way to remove this??

To not get prompted to download the Windows Desktop Search component, do the following:

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.

2. Click Other, and then click Advanced Options.

3. Under General settings, clear the Show prompts to enable Instant
Search check box.
