I am using Watin to do some automated testing and I am running IE as a different user then attaching to the IE instance. The problem is with Internet Explorer. I get a message saying that the default search provider is corrupted. I have reproduced this on two computers. Is there a way of getting around this? Can turn the warnings off somehow? Or is there some kind of registry hack for turning it off?

I don’t think there’s a documented mechanism for turning off the prompt, because that would defeat the purpose (allowing evil software to disable the prompt and change the provider without permission).
Have you tried logging in as the user in question, correcting the provider, and then logging back out before retrying?
