You're welcome Glenn. You might alsos take a look at the free program Start Menu 7 to see if that may be more usable for what you are wanting as well. It's pretty customizable.

Thanks again, Brink. I had found that one, but since FreeLaunchBar solves a significant % of my issues, I decided that yet one more TSR tweak program wasn't necessary to learn, install, and configure. But if I could get the real start menu back... I may eventually choose to turn off Windows search completely, because I don't use it much, and I do use Agent Ransack.
Hi there.
I'm thinking in applying this tip you are discussing here. However, I'd like to know if the search box will stay there because my only purpose will be to launch some executables like cmd.exe and such. If it wont then how can those commands be run?
I found this discussion about the start menu very informative. I've neve found a place more informative as this forum.
I still haven't understood why anybody would turn off search. That being said; does turning off search also turn off indexing?
Thanks Mr. Brink.
Another question. I have one computer with Intel 510 120 GB SSD. Would it be wise to turn off Windows 7 search/indexing and use a program that only searches /indexes when asked to? Is Windows 7 indexing used by other things besides Search?
I have found Search Everything very useful on my other computers.
I don't think you would have any problems, but you could give it a try and see if you do. If you do, you could always just turn "Windows Search" back on with no harm no foul.
