Windows Vista Tip #2: Add the Run box to the Start menu | |
|

Longtime Windows users know what a time-saver the Run box is. Instead of digging through menus or Explorer windows to find a shortcut or folder, you can enter a command or folder location directly in the Run box. This is also a great way to start a program with a command-line switch or other option.
In Windows Vista, the Search box takes over many of the functions of the Run box. When you enter the name of a command or shortcut, it appears in the search results list almost instantly, and you can run the command or program by pressing Enter or clicking that item. But there are still a few tricks that you can’t do with the Search box. For that, Run is still around. | ||
