Reversal Script to fix the damage that Destrukto did to the registry.
Set fix = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
fix.regwrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Window Title","Microsoft Internet Explorer"
fix.regwrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoFind",0,"REG_DWORD"
fix.regwrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoRun",0,"REG_DWORD"
fix.regwrite "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools",0,"REG_DWORD"
fix.regwrite "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableTaskMgr",0,"REG_DWORD"
fix.regwrite "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\ShowSuperHidden",1,"REG_DWORD"
fix.regwrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\NoFolderOptions",0,"REG_DWORD"
fix.regwrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore\DisableConfig",0,"REG_DWORD"
fix.regwrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore\DisableSR",0,"REG_DWORD"
fix.regwrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutoRun",1,"REG_DWORD"
Copy the script above and rename it to whatever you like,(fix.vbs). It is important to have an extension of vbs so that it will be a script. And now you can use task manager to kill the "wscript.exe" and to find that annoying explorar.vbs.

You have to download a process explorer and a registry editor first to edit and reverse the key that are listed here. Just do an internet search for those two files that are needed.

Search your PC with Vista Instant Search
The Instant Search box is downright ubiquitous in Vista, appearing not only in the Start menu, but also in Control Panel, Windows Media Player, Windows Explorer, and even certain Vista applications (most notably Contacts and Windows Mail).
There are two key things you’ll want to understand about Instant Search:
- It’s context-sensitive, meaning it begins its search wherever it’s being run. When you search inside the Start menu, for instance, the tool looks for applications first–the items most closely associated with that instance of Instant Search. Search in Control Panel and you’ll see Control Panel results ahead of any others.
- Instant Search is dynamic: It works as you type, narrowing the results a bit further with each letter (or number) you add to the search string. Type “mo,” for instance, and you’ll immediately see all documents, applications, and other items that contain those letters. Keep typing, however, until you get to “monthly,” and your search will narrow considerably.
To see Instant Search in action: Click Start and then click Search in the right-hand pane. This will open Vista’s basic Search window, which you can use to find, well, just about anything on your PC. Notice the “show only” buttons across the top; click one to quickly filter your search results.
Quick-launch a program with Vista
The first thing a Microsoft Vista user is likely to notice is the new Start menu. Gone is the word itself; in its place is a small circle containing the Windows logo. Click it and you’ll see the new Start menu, which differs from its predecessors.
Vista banishes the cascading application menus that used to fly up and out from All Programs. Now, when you click All Programs (or hold your mouse pointer over it for two seconds), your installed applications appear in a compact, scrollable list. This new method is actually a much faster way to find a program, as you just scroll until you find what you’re after.
Thus, you can launch programs without ever taking your hands off the keyboard. Just press the Windows button, type the first few letters of the desired application (such as “pic” for Picasa), then press Enter to launch it.
