Re: How to add a search item under Windows Start --> Search Sharon 12/5/2008 11:58:11 AM Ok; I'll try to be more specific: On Windows XP when you click on the Start button (in the bottom left corner), and then click the Search to open a search sub menu, and into this search sub menu I would like to add a shortcut to a third party search program. Any Idea? -- Thanks Sharon "Kelly" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi Sharon, > > In the "Look in" drop box via search or on the Start Menu itself under > Search? > > > -- > > All the Best and Happy Holidays, > Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) > > Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! > http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm > > > "Sharon" <SharonG[ at ]newsgroups.nospam> wrote in message > news:88996C9E-E491-45EE-8DCF-08F235A62B77[ at ]microsoft.com... > > Hi, > > I want to add an shortcut entry for a specific program under: > > > > Start --> Search > > > > How do I do that? > > > > > > -------- > > Thanks > > Sharon > >

It doesn't look like it's possible to add an entry for a program that wasn't written to be a search handler.
