Windows Key + R
All Programs > Accessories > Run...
Customize start menu and add Run... back to the start menu

You can also use the search box at the bottom of the start menu for nearly all
things you would need the Run... dialog for though.

The fastest is just type "run" in the Start Search box (the Run box then
appears), or just type your command there (in most cases the desired program
opens). The long way is to go to Start/All Programs/Accessories.

You can type it into the search box, and even use command line switches
there. It's the easiest way.

You can also right click the start menu and go to properties> customize> and
check the run command. It will add it to your start menu.

Makes me smile. The search is a good tip, but you have to do all this work:

1) grab the big heavy mouse
2) then point it to that cute little start button
3) and like digging ditches you have to click the mouse with deliberate
force.
4) type into the search space with deliberate force the way Jelly Bean
would.

From the "'things' you couldn't run a production machine without category":

If you type a single dot, two dots, or three dots into the run box in XP or
Vista you'll get different levels of Documents and Settings or Users in
Vista.

If you type "telnet towels.blinkenlights.nl" (lose quotes) in XP you'll get
about 30 minutes of "Starwars" on your cmd prompt rendered in ASCIIcalled an
Ascimation (I guess that can survive the Crabby Offie Lady or whomever
MSFTies use as their censor). Telnet is default on in XP and many security
types quickly point out it the service is a security vulnerability so you
should turn it off when not in use for productive things like Starwars.

In Vista you have to do a workaround to install Telnet: There is a way to
install it - Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn on off windows feature ->
check telnet client

Telnet wasn't in 3.1, however 'Terminal' was, which you could bind to a port
for remote admin of unix workstations

Before the development of WWW OPACs telnet was the main way of accessing
online library catalogues. Some libraries still have only telnet access to
catalogues, while others offer a both telnet and WWW Opac interfaces.
-------

You also can Right click taskbar>toolbars>address bar>make sure taskbar is
unlocked>slide out the address bar now in your taskbar via the seem there
and you'll have a combination run box and IE address bar in your task bar.
I find dragging the taskbar up to double it's width works best for the
buttons when I do this.

If Colin or anyone else finds a good set of run box commands for Vista (most
of the usual suspects work but there are differences as in helpctr.exe in
Win XP and helppane.exe in Vista I'd appreciate them.

Some Run Box shortcuts in Win XP:

Also I'm looking for a good directory for Vista services (beyond some of the
ambiguous descriptions that come up when you highlight them), and Vista
processes that come up in Task Man.

Thanks,

CH

I found what I think is a bug and reported it while playing around with
variations on accessing Run. Try this one: Start>All Programs>Accessories
and then right click on the Run icon in the directory. Choose Open File
Location (bottom entry). What folder does Explorer open? On my system
Explorer opened the Desktop folder. I don't have Run on my desktop so what
gives with that?

As it turns out, if you choose Properties and check the Shortcut tab the
Target listed there is the Desktop. Of course. But I haven't sent it to
the desktop yet so why is Explorer using this info to open the file
location?

I guess Vista is clairvoyant now.

Too stupid for a beta OS.

When you help someone like this they will just be back in a few more
days with more stupid question.

This group is being flooded with moronic questions:
How do I get a product key
Where do I get a driver for xyz hardware
Won't install on my lapotop
Won't install on my computer circa 1968
My crappy video card won't run aero glass (the sky is falling)
My crappy sound card doesn't work
Can't figure out how to activate
Will my 16 bit program from 1992 run on Vista
How long can I use Vista Beta
How do I dual boot
I NEED STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO GET XP BACK
cannot delete windows.old file

Ignore them, children should only listen to adult conversations, not
be incouraged to join in.

To which you can add "Repeatedly posting stuff like this."
