Show “Run” in windows Vista.

After using Windows XP for who knows how many years, many of us computer users are used to just clicking on Start then Run.

This is not the case in Windows Vista though. We can only speculate why Microsoft took it out by default.

Sure, you can type “Run” into the search field in the start menu… but who seriously can take the time of day to do that? That’s extra work, and extra work is something we don’t agree with.

There’s a few short steps you can follow to get the Run menu back to where it belongs.

Step 1:

Right click on the start icon and select “Properties” from the list.
