Right click search

[Daniel]

Hi

I have Ultimate.

How do I set it up so I can have a right click/seach function when right
clicking on folders in explorer?

thanks

Daniel

"Search.." should be on the right-click context menu.
But you don't really need it, because the Search box is on the Toolbar
already.

"Search.." should be on the right-click context menu.

Not here......

Search link (present in the right-hand side of the Start menu) is removed
when you install Windows Vista Service Pack 1. Also, the Search context menu
item is removed. There are other ways to launch search. For more

appeared....and yes I did re-start...

It appears the automatic registry file while it removes the values, doesn't
remove the key itself. I manually deleted the two keys and all is well.

hmmmm.
Selecting "Search.." brings up WDS.

Your sig says that you have installed SP1, but it doesn't look like you
have.

ss.

I do have SP1.

I meant that I do have the "Search.." option on the right-click context menu
in Windows Explorer, and when I select it, it does open Windows Search.
I don't remember how it got there, though, probably thru a reg fix.

Not talking about the start menu.

Perhaps a security suite in your system is blocking the change?
