Restore right-click Search function after installing SP1 for VISTA

How to restore the right-click Search function after installing SP1 for VISTA: One big complaint about Service Pack 1 is that it removes the Search function from the right click context menus as well as the Search link on the right side of the Start menu (not the search box at the bottom). You can restore it by editing the registry. Here's how:
   1. Open the registry editor.
   2. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\find
   3. In the right pane, right click on LegacyDisable
   4. Click Delete.
   5. Click Yes to confirm deletion.
   6. Restart the computer to make the change take effect.
