I'm sure you may have seen this before on various websites,but i really like the interent search link in the Vista start menu . You can add this to the W7 start menu as well.

Hit the start button and type gpedit.msc into the search box and then press Enter. Now work your way down the tree on the left hand side menu and find :

USER CONFIGURATION > ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES > START MENU AND TASKBAR.

Right click on ADD SEARCH INTERNET LINK TO START MENU, select EDIT and then select ENABLE.

Press OK and your done.:)

I had to reboot for it to kick on my first install of W7 but it worked first time on my second install.

Sorry if this is old news but i really like this function.
