Seeking help please if possible. I am running Vista Premium, SP1 (have not downloaded SP2 on the advice of friends?). Dual Core, 1 Gig RAM.
Question is this.
When I first got the computer, when one clicked on the start button, it brought up a box with various options on it, including Control Panel, Help and Support etc. I seem to recall that it also had a search button also, which I recall was lost when some update was done, although that might be a symptom of advancing “oldtimers disease”. :-)) I seem to recall using it to search for files, but it is no longer there.,
I find the current search button which opens with "Start" to be useless.
However, when I go through the following routine, Start, Help and Support, windows basics, then type in the search box, “Find a file”, brings up Find a file or folder, click on the “Find a file using the search folder”, scroll down to “Click to open “search”, which then allows you to do an "advanced search", selecting folders, drives etc.
My query is, how does one manage to get a shortcut to get to that “search” tab, without going through that rigmarole? I do find the Start and help and support search facilities pathetic.
Thanks in anticipation.
