Remove "Search" from Start menu

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Hi Jack,

If you are using the XP-style start menu, then you will find the option to
show/hide search on the advanced tab under customize in the Taskbar and
Start menu properties.

In classic mode - pointer on the Start menu button, right-click for
"properties". Make sure the "Classic Start Menu" hole is selected, then
click "Customise" - scroll down the list and remove the "tick" beside
"Search". Then, "apply" - job done.

Hope this helps - Len.

Jack,

You will not be able to remove Search if you are using the Classic style.
Let me suggest that you switch to XP Style and remove Search. Once you have
switched to XP style, remove search under Customize > Advanced

Hope this helps.
