| | Re: Search link on SP1 start menu If you are running Windows Vista SP1 beta, the Search link on the Start menu has been removed. If you are not, then it has somehow been unchecked, right click Taskbar > click Properties > Start Menu (tab) > Customize > scroll down and make sure the 'Search' option is checked. Brandon Leblanc over at the Windows Vista Experience Blog explains why: Quote: "Microsoft has recently published a KB article outlining changes to Windows Vista's desktop search in SP1 but I'd like to elaborate a little bit based on my own experience with the changes. Windows Vista SP1 allows the user to change their default desktop search provider from the built-in Windows Desktop Search that ships with Windows Vista to another 3rd party desktop search provider. As noted above, the Search option has been removed from the right side of the Start menu. Users will also notice "See all results" has disappeared when doing a search via the Start menu. Instead, you will see "Search Everywhere". Search Everywhere will launch whatever is the user's default desktop search program. In Windows Explorer, users will also see a "Search Everywhere" option in the toolbar as well." http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=941946 -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "romanom" <romanom@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:7F502D9C-6982-4C3E-A302-5957D7DC5E9C@xxxxxx Quote: > Curious, has anyone figured out how to get the "Search" link back on to > the > right side of the start menu, like it was before SP1? > > |
