Remove/Disable Find option from StartMenu

Hello,
You can actually remove the Find option from the start menu by performing a simple registry hack. Again like always Launch the registry editor and scroll down to the below key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Right-click on the right pane and select New, DWORD Value. Name it NoFind. Double-click the newly create DWORD to edit it's value and enter 1 as its value.
This will disable the FIND option of the Start Menu and will also disable the default Shortcut key(F3 for Find.) 
To restore the Run or find command modify the value of the DWORD to 0 or simply Delete the DWORD value.
