Add a Search button in the Start Menu
[img]http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p111/neo_matrix_rs/Windows%20Vista%20Tweaks/Search.png[/img][code]Hello Everyone,Microsoft has been released Vista sP1to RTM since 4Feb 2008and available to MSDN/Technet or Microsoft Connect users and will be available publically soon.
In Vista SP1,lots of bugs're fixed.But a thing that annoying me,they have removed centerlized "Search"from Start menu.
So here is the registry trick that enable centerlized "Search"in start menu by replacing "Run..."and via (My)Computer context menu.
Copy n paste this reg code into notepad and save as <file name>.reg file.
Double click and patch it.
