How to search the Internet with your Windows 7 Start Menu

Wouldn't it be nice to search the Internet through your Windows 7 Start Menu without pre-opening your web browser?

Here's how you can do it:

1. Hit the Windows Start button
2. Type in "gpedit.msc" and hit Enter to open up the "Local Group Policy Editor"
   
3. In the navigation menu on the left, select "User Configuration" > "Administrative Templates" > "Start Menu and Taskbar" > and double click on "Add Search Internet link to Start Menu"
   
   
   
   
4. In the "Add Search Internet link to Start Menu" policy window, select "Enabled" and click "OK"
   
   
   
   
5. Close the "Local Group Policy Editor"
   

Now you're all set. Just click "Start" and start searching! It'll bring you to the results from your default search engine on your default browser. :)
