Set Start Menu search bar to search "Everywhere"?

This would be so useful for me, but I just can't find how to do it. This is a picture showing what the problem is:

.

As you can see, the start menu search doesn't return the file I want.

I just want to be able to search EVERYWHERE (literally everywhere, drive C: and D:, I don't care how slow it is). The search bar in the start menu only searches my user folder!

Thanks for any help

Hello Superfreeze, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Double check in the Customize Start Menu settings to make sure that you have all of the Search options checked.
