you know when you do a search in the vista start menu, well it finds links to things that were deleted days ago. is there a way of cleaning all the non existent search results?

I think to clear this you right click on the search tab and it then comes up with options to clear the list. I cant check it as i upgraded my Vista to Xp pro recently
I have nothing better to do!!!!
