Trouble:
Windows 7 start menu search has some problems with displaying search results properly in some cases. It displays the the search category and does not display the search items properly under those categories.
The above picture shows the correct way of results, but in case your copy of Windows 7 has this problem, then you will see categories like Programs, Control Panel and the items under these headings will be missing. I will tell you how you can fix this issue through Windows registry change / hotfix installation.

when i search i get nothing it is blank
hey dude theres no folder types on my pc just fileexst
You think teh top picture shows the “the correct way of results”? I disagree… “Nero Home [English Help]” is not a “program” to me. Programs are executables, nothing else; exe, cmd, bat, those are “programs” for me. My W7x64 pro lists even pdf’s as “programs”. I think this is dysfunctional…
It worked, thanks!
