Add Search to Taskbar?

Windows Vista12
I need to add the Search box (for all folders, files, email, etc) to the

TaskBar in Vista for my boss. We're all using XP and added Desktop Search,

using the search box in the Taskbar for quick searches.



I can't seem to find a way to add it to the taskbar in Vista. I need a way

to put it in front of him as he won't use it via the Start Menu.



Thanks,



Christian

I'm pretty sure there are Gadgets for the Sidebar that you could use

instead. It's a better place for a search box, if you like that sort of

thing.

Re:Add Search to Taskbar?

He changed the start menu to "classic" so, there is an extra step to open

Search. That's one click too many appearantly.
