customizing start menu

jwhert · 01-09-2008, 05:43 AM

i have vista home premium x64

ive used the customizing start menu to get my start menu how i want it, almost

i have the search box that is at the bottom to where it will only search the program list, then on the right side i have my name, then computer, then control panel, on that right side i also want a link to search where this one will search all of my computer, but i cant find a way to put it there

in the customizing start menu screen it has the options for search communication, search favorites, but no option for a link to regular search in the start menu

can anyone tell me how to do this?

Can you not just index your whole computer so it searches it.

It's 'bump'. Please do not bump threads! There are many users with problems that require help. Seems that no1 knows the answer so... wait.

its called to the top, because it brings it to the top, i dont have to use the word "bump" specifically

and i too, have a rule i like to go buy, dont post in peoples threads when you dont have the answer, its pointless
