Add Run Command To Windows 7 Start Menu


The Run command in Windows gives a quick and easy way to start programs or open documents using command line arguments. Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7, you are likely to miss this convenient launching application. By default Run Dialog is not shown in the Windows 7 Start Menu, though it is still accessible through the windows key + R short cut.
Here is how you can Add the Run Command to Windows 7 Start Menu:
1. Right-click on Windows 7 Start Menu Orb and select ‘Properties’ to open the ‘Taskbar and Start Menu Properties’ window.

4. You can now use the good old Run Dialog from your Windows 7 Start Menu.
