Vista - run option

Does anyone know how to add the "RUN" command option back into the menu?
I recently bought a computer loaded with windows basic, and found the "run
command" is no longer there.
major hassle at times without it.

Thanks
Dan

Right click on bottom bar. Go to properties | Start Menu | Customize. Scroll
down the list.

You don't need to use the Run window. The Search box works just as good, if
not better. I know it's a habit to use the Run box, I did it all the time in
W2K and XP (and still do when I'm on a box running one of those OS's) but
the Vista search box works great. Yeah, it doesn't keep a history of cmds,
but you should give the search box a try.

As others have responded with instructions on how to re-enable the Run box,
I won't delve into that. I will say that WinKey-R still pops it, though...

Or just hit the windows key on the keyboard and type in run and hit
enter key. There is your run command.

You can add it back to the start menu if you want, but personally if I
want the run dialog, I hold down the windows key and press R.
That's not often though: the search box on the start menu is better, in
my opinion.

There you go! Some hotkey shortcuts never seem to change. (-:
