"Search..." in folders' context menu

[Spacey Spade]

How do you get rid of "Search..." in the context menu for folders in
windows explorer? I'm using freeware to replace this crippled
function, and want to get rid of the extra item in the context menu.

Run regedit
Remove HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\find

If you need to put it back, copy these lines into a textfile
Rename it to find.reg and double click it.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\find]
"SuppressionPolicy"=dword:00000080

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\find\command]
@=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,\
00,5c,00,45,00,78,00,70,00,6c,00,6f,00,72,00,65,00,72,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,\
65,00,00,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\find\ddeexec]
@="[FindFolder(\"%l\", %I)]"
"NoActivateHandler"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\find\ddeexec\application]
@="Folders"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\find\ddeexec\topic]
