In order to address some bugs that people were hitting with 0.5, I worked last night and this evening to package up version 0.6 for release.
I’ve also removed historical versions from the download page, the latest Start++ release will always live at this URL:

Change list is here.

Is there any way to have something like this in xp, without the windows search thing

Sorry, Start++ is only for Vista, as it extends existing Vista functionality.
XP doesn’t have a search box in the start menu to work with. Thus the closest you’ll get is the Windows Desktop Search deskbar, or something like Dave’s Quick Search Deskbar (”DQSD”).

Hey Brandon, great little tool. bit of a glitch I’m running into - whenever I enter any search term starting with “g” before I have a chance to enter a second character, the start menu spazzes a little bit and disappears.
When I delete the Command Startlet shortcut for the google search, it goes away.
The yahoo and dictionary shortcuts work fine so it’s not an issue with shortcuts in general.

[...] Start++ extends the Windows Vista Start Menu with powerful, customizable extensions called “Startlets.” [...]
