How do I RUN in VISTA ?

For the past some days...

Actually, since the time me and my colleagues started supporting MICROSOFT WINDOWS VISTA at work, a question that customers raise often is "Where's the RUN option?". They say "I cant find it. I dont think Vista has it."

Well, Vista does have it. It is there. All that we need to do to be able to use it, is ... READ ON !

Un:

Like in previous versions of MS Windows, in VISTA as well, all that we need to do is use the "WINDOWS KEY+R" combo. Voila, we get the RUN box ! This is the easiest way to use the RUN option without unveiling it.

Dos:

We can seek SEARCH's help to RUN a file. When we click it, right above START - in VISTA we have the WINDOWS LOGO instead - we find the START SEARCH box. We can type in the name of the program and it shows up in the results box above। A single click then causes the Program to RUN !
and
Tres:

We can make the option visible permanently, right where it should be, by doing the following:

a) Right click on the empty space on the TASK BAR (the bar at the bottom of the screen - on the right hand side of the START button) and then left click on properties

b) On the window that pops up, left click on START MENU and then on Customize

and,

c) Then in a new window a list shows up. We need to scroll down that list until we see the RUN COMMAND option. We need to tick the corresponding tick/check box and click on OK and then OK again.
And, thats it ! We are done ! The RUN option will not elude you anymore !

Simple, isn't it ?
