Disable Search on Start Menu but not in Explorer
Greetings,
I know that the DWORD registry entry 'NoFind' can be used in 'HKEYCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Policies\Explorer' to remove Find from the Start Menu. I almost never use Find from the Start Menu so it makes sense to remove it. The trouble is this registry edit also disables the Search function from within Windows Explorer. The toolbar button and F3 have no effect. While I use a third-party app for general file searches, sometimes it is handy to tap F3 within a folder I'm working on and use the in-built search function. Is there any way of removing the Start Menu item while having Search enabled within the file manger? Thanks. |

Simply uncheck it via Start Menu/Customize/Advanced.

I should have mentioned as well that I am using the Classic Start Menu. It
doesn't have an option to remove the Search item in Customize/Advanced. |
