Hi Appetom,


May be a temporary server outage. Can you try it now?

Dave - this sounds exactly like what I want to do. But I only have one
Vista machine. Can I?:

1 - Use system restore to roll back to before SP1
2 - Copy explorer.exe to a flash drive
3 - Re-install SP1?

Or - can I have my buddy with Vista (sans SP1) email me the file?

I really miss that right-click search option. Why on earth did they
take it away?

Neither of Ramesh's links work for me.

The link appears fine when you using Google Groups:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.vista.general/msg/6a2a55fffe186255

Techarena.in seems to remove the ".com" from the URL.

This is just for me and why I'm trying to find an answer to this
question...

Because I don't want to wait the 5 miniuts for the advanced search
options option to appear after it looks through the 287,653 files in
the directory tree I'm trying to search! And I need to do a search
with the advanced options!

Hi Avianrr,

Not sure what your question is, but this will show you how to restore
Search to the context menu in Vista.
