Run Command Button Back On Vista
Okay in the launch of Vista, Windows made a number of changes to their OS visually. One of those was to remove the “run” button from the start area.
This meant using the bottom search area to get what you needed done, a not so great alternative as in my opinion its to messy and not fast enough, due to the looking for suggestions.
Anyway what I am trying to say is you can get it back. EASILY!!
All you need to do is :
1) Click the Windows button
2) Right click on a blank area
3) Select properties
4) In the Start Menu tab click the top “customize”
5) Scroll through until you find run command
6) Enable it
7) Press okay and then okay again.
Thats it done
