How do I get rid of the "Find" choice that appears when I press the Windows key, without removing the "Find" choice that appears when I right-click a folder?
Hi everyone
I wanted to get rid of the "Find" choice that appears each time I press the Windows key (i.e. the key that's also called the "Start" key), without removing the "Find" choice that appears when I right-click a folder .
I tried going here
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software \Microsoft \Windows\C urrentVers ion\Polici es\Explore r
and creating a dword key named NoFind with a decimal value of 1. It did indeed remove "Find" from the pop-up menu that appears when I press the Windows key, but it had unforeseen consequences- I lost the choice of "Find" that appears when I right-click a folder! Is there a way to remove it without causing this consequence?
Thank you
(I'm running windows 98SE)

I'm so glad. I was hoping you'd see it. So far, everyone else seems to have avoided dealing with it.
I haven't, just can't find a workaround.

Thanks for trying, Zee. I appreciate the effort and good will.

I'm adding points to this and to my other similar question, since it seems that these questions are harder than I thought they were.
BIll, Zee, and all the others who may be working on it --- Thanks very much.

AFAIK it can't be done.
It's an all or nothing option...

I have a feeling you're right. I'm still hoping that Bill will find a way, though, or that we'll be surprised by someone new. Thanks again for trying.
Although I hate admitting defeat, I have a strong feeling Zee may be right. I've had a lot on over the last week and haven't really had the time to mess with my Win98se system, but I will get the chance over the weekend.

Thanks, Bill, for trying to help with this.
I had an idea about this::
How about making a macro that will toggle NoFind between 0 or 1? That way, I can turn it on as needed. I already have such a macro to show-hide hidden files. It goes like this:
set oshell = wscript.createobject("Wscr ipt.Shell" )
keystr = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\W indows\"&_
"CurrentVersion\Explorer\A dvanced\Hi dden"
keyval = oshell.regread(keystr)
if keyval = 1 then
oshell.regwrite keystr,0,"REG_DWORD"
elseif keyval = 2 or keyval = 0 then
oshell.regwrite keystr,1,"REG_DWORD"
end if
Perhaps I can adjust it to toggle the NoFind dword. If this would work, do you guys have any idea how I would do this?

Hey, you're asking the wrong person about VB code. I can follow roughly where it goes and what it does, but wouldn't be able to check it for errors. Unless you were pretty competent with VB and could eyeball the script for errors before executing it, the registry is pretty dangerous to be modifying.
Of course, you could create a bogus key and bogus value and test the VB Script on that to make sure it worked without risking the real key and value.
I would generally go about it in a rather more primitive way with a batch file and 2 *.reg files in the same directory to enable or disable things like that. One *.reg file enables the registry setting and the other one disables it, and the batch file just allows you to choose between the two from a basic menu and merge the correct *.reg file to the registry.
I'll provide the contents of each file I would have used if you would like.

Yeah I know, not VB but Windows HostScript :-)

Thanks, Bill. I can see why you would do it that way. It's safer and cleaner.
Yes, if you don't mind, and if it isn't too much trouble, I would like to see the code.
Thanks very much

Hi Shlomo
I'm still looking at this one and will post back tomorrow.

Hi Shlomo
Do you think you could do me a favour please, and run the following batch file. Just copy and paste it into Notepad, then either:
1. Save as "all files (*.*)" and name it something like "Get_Find_Reg.bat" (include the " " around the name)
OR
2. Save it as a text file something like Get_Find_Reg.txt, and then rename it by changing .txt to .bat.
-------- start of text to copy (DON'T include this line) -----
@echo off
start /wait regedit /e %TEMP%\find01.txt HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Director y\shell\fi nd
start /wait regedit /e %TEMP%\find02.txt HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\sh ell\find
start /wait regedit /e %TEMP%\find03.txt HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR E\Microsof t\Windows\ CurrentVer sion\Explo rer\FindEx tensions
copy %TEMP%\find01.txt+%TEMP%\f ind02.txt+ %TEMP%\fin d03.txt Find_Reg_Keys.txt
del %TEMP%\find0*.txt > nul
exit
-------- end of text to copy (DON'T include this line) -----
That batch file will extract the following registry keys to one text file named "Find_Reg_Keys.txt" in the same directory from which the batch file was run.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directo ry\shell\f ind]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\s hell\find]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWA RE\Microso ft\Windows \CurrentVe rsion\Expl orer\FindE xtensions]
This should be copied and pasted here. You may prefer to just export these keys manually and paste the results.
I will compare the registry values with my own to see if I can figure out how to separate the folder's Right-Click "Find" option from the Start Menu's one. I have to say that it doesn't look too promising from what I've found so far.

Oh yes, you asked about the clunky old batch file method I would normally use for toggling between registry settings. Here's a batch file that shows menu options that will be obvious from the contents below.

Create the following *.reg files and place them in the same folder as the batch file:
Enable_Find.reg
---------- copy from below this --------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwar e\Microsof t\Windows\ CurrentVer sion\Polic ies\Explor er]
"NoFind"=dword:00000000
----------- don't copy this line ----------------
Disable_Find.reg
---------- copy from below this --------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwar e\Microsof t\Windows\ CurrentVer sion\Polic ies\Explor er]
"NoFind"=dword:00000001
----------- don't copy this line ----------------
Now just execute "Toggle_Find.bat" and type "V" to view the current status. It will open Notepad with the relevant line, and when you close Notepad it will return to the menu so you can either enable or disable the option and then quit.
You will see lines in the batch file prefixed by "rem ". If you prefer to have the respective *.reg files merged silently to the registry, then delete the line below that, and remove the leading "rem" and space before the "start" command of the line that was remarked out. The Regedit /s switch means "silent".
Remember your 2 blank lines at the end of the *.reg files :-)
Here's another useful tip for you.
Some registry changes require you to restart Windows before they are applied. You can usually re-initialise your registry and refresh your desktop without having to restart Windows.
Save your work before attempting this tip!
- Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE, to show the Windows task list.
- Highlight "Explorer" and click "End Task".
- If the Shutdown screen shows, click "Cancel".
- After a while an error message will show.
- Click on "End Task" and Windows Explorer will be reloaded.
- This also usually applies new registry settings that normally need a reboot.
Regards
Bill

Thanks for posting that batch file. Had I t realized it was so long,I wouldn't have asked you to go thru the trouble of posting it. But anyway, now that you did, know that I do find it very helpful, and I'm sure there will be many others reading this website who will also find good use for it. So thanks very much for posting it.

Thanks for posting that batch file. Had I t realized it was so long,I wouldn't have asked you to go thru the trouble of posting it. But anyway, now that you did, know that I do find it very helpful, and I'm sure there will be many others reading this website who will also find good use for it. So thanks very much for posting it.
Your tip to allow me to re-initialise the registry and refresh my desktop without having to restart Windows, is incredibly helpful, and I'm so glad you shared that tip. Thanks very much.

Thanks Bill for so many helpful tips.
I've been using the PathCopy utility for a long time now, and it
seems to be the same as the PathCopyEx utility you referred me to.
You can find it here:
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/13986.html
I like that your tips allowed me to shrink the menu I get when I open "My Computer". That's very useful to me, so for that tip and for some of the other tips you listed, I think it's only fair that I award you the points to this question, especially since by now no one else has solved this so I doubt if it has a solution.
I intend to solve the problem by going around it. I'll remove "Find" from the Start menu, and I'll use macros with the other search utility I use: "Agent Ransack". Thus if, for example, I find myself often looking into a folder which I'll call
C:\files\images
I'll write a macro to not only open "Agent Ransack", but to have it do its search in C:\files\images
I'll also write macros to open "Agent Ransack" in the other folders that I find myself frequently searching in.
Anyway, thanks again for all of your help.
I appreciate all of the tips. They make my computer exerience more efficient and therefore more enjoyable. So thank you.

Shlomo

Thank you Shlomo.
Your comment : "They make my computer exerience more efficient and therefore more enjoyable" is really what it's all about.
Isn't it ironic that Microsoft have always striven to create so many wonderful options for all the masses of users out there who have expressed a desire to have integrated, but then probably about an eighth of all users then have to find ways to get rid of the features they find useless and clutter it all up. I suppose that's really why TweakUI became so popular.
Your use of Agent Ransack sounds like a very good good alternative way of getting things done efficiently.
