I have never blogged on this topic before because I figured most people already knew this, or didn’t care. It turns out that a few of you still don’t know that the Run line in Windows never went away, they just hid it. Why? I don’t know. I just work here!
When someone describes how to open a command prompt in Windows what do they say to do? Click Start >Run type in CMD and press OK right? Or at least something similar to that. Sure by default you can type CMD in the search box and get the same thing, but what if you want to browse the admin share on another computer in the network? The search box doesn’t help you there.
To turn “Run” back on in Windows 7 is pretty easy though so don’t fret. Just do the following:
- Right click on Start and click on Properties
- On the Start Menu tab click Customize
- Scroll down the list and check the box for Run command then click OK
- Click Apply then OK and you’re done!
Now if you click on Start, you have your good buddy “Run” staring back at you in the face!
Have any Windows 7 tips you think people should know? Let us know in the comments!
