Where is it located so I can run it? think part of your confusion is that the Run shortcut is no longer in the Start Menu by default. You can add it by right-clicking on the Start Orb and then on the Start Menu tab. Choose "Customize" for lots of options. However, it really isn't necessary to have the Run shortcut there because you can run everything from the Search box (see Rick's answer). I think perhaps you just didn't realize that.
