Add the Run box to the Start menu
Tuesday, June 6th, 2006
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.
