or Folders" (located on the Start Menu)?

Thanks,

Right-click the SEARCH entry on the Start Menu and drag it to the Desktop.
Let go of the mouse button and CREATE SHORTCUT HERE.

Dev, it won't drag, in fact none of the entries (except those in
Programs) are draggable, and there is no right-click context menu
for those entries. But Kelly's Korner
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm has a vbs fix (line
86, right column) which works very well.
