And when I do a CTRL ALT DEL I do not see explorerhacked.exe or explorer.exe, I tried booting with "Last Known Good Configuration" but I had no success with that. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have switched back to the unhack explore.exe and search works again. Now i wondering since we changed the name of the exporer.eve to something easier to remember it throws off other functions of the start menu, so im thinking i will try saving a backup of a unhacked explorer.exe on another part of my drive and chaing the name of the hacked one to explorer.exe and see if i can get the search link to work along with the hack. i will post my results shortly. ya i would click search in the start menu and nothing would happen, i could get to search through a regular explorer window.

You could just go back into the registry editor and revert the explorer file to explorer.exe instead of explorerhacked.exe.
