Ok, I'm running Windows 2000 SP4, I've been using Locate32 (http://www.uku.fi/~jmhuttun/english/softwares.shtml) as my search function (Its much much faster than windows search, and I like it a lot better.) - However, I know you can disable items from the Start > Search menu, but is there a way to add a custom entry to launch a program from there? (In this case Locate32.)?

Just4,

To add a new item to the Search menu you need to develop a find extension (aka search handler). I guess you can ask developers of Locate32 to do this for you and other customers. As far as I know it's very easy coding. It might take about one working day.

Have a nice day,

Hi everybody,

I had some spare time and decided to spend it developing this little tool.

It just puts the Locate32 item to the Start > Search menu. On clicking

this item the handler launches Locate32 as you wanted.

I haven't found how to upload a file to this forum, so I put it on

our web site at: http://www.contextmagic.com

The direct download link: Locate32 Search Handler

To install this tool follow these steps:

1. Unzip the archive to the folder where Locate32 is installed.

2. Run the _reg.bat file.

3. Have fun

Please direct your comments to this topic.

Have a nice day,

Leonid
