  1. Force Start Search to only search locally?


    Is there a way to stop the Search box in the Start menu from searching the Internet? If I want to do this, I'll use an internet browser thank you very much!

    I only use this when I want to open an obscure program, or open a file.

    :)

  3. Error Code 85002028

    I just got my Windows Phone 7 - AT&T Samsung. I'm trying to setup Outlook email with my Network Solutions POP email account. Because their mail server's domain and certificate don't match my personal domain, there's a certificate mismatch and I get an
    error. How do I turn off this security check?

    When I bypass this by going to their generic URL that matches the certificate, I get Error Code 85002028 - "Your Windows Phone doesn't support this server version. Contact support person or service provider."

    This sounds like Microsoft is blocking non-Exchange email servers. Could this be true?

    Force Start Search to only search locally?

    You should be able to turn off "Search online and include web results" in settings. Search for something and then click on the cog..
