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...
