No search? I’m running Vista Business SP1, when I click Start the “Start Search” is right there in the lower left corner.
Can you clarify or add before/after screenshots to specify what this changes?
Thanks for asking your doubt..I didn’t mean “Start Search” option in the Start menu..It will enable or disable Search option in the Start menu tab..Like there was an option called “Search” in start menu like “control panel” , “Games” and “Computer”..I hope you got my point..If you wish I will add a screenshot..
This disable option doesn’t work for me.
