Run
With Vista
Have you made the
switch to the new operating system of Windows Vista yet? If you have,
are you getting a little frustrated with being away from everything you
knew in XP? I mean, going from XP to Vista is an extreme change and it
can be very difficult getting used to all the new features. I know I felt
that way when I first started working with Vista. I was so used to XP
and I just felt like the two operating systems were like day and night.
But, if you look past
all that confusion, you'll find that there are a few things you can do
with Vista to bring back the comfort of XP. (I'm not even kidding!) And
as a matter of fact, I'm going to tell you how to do one of those right
now. In Windows XP, a function I always use a lot is the Run command.
It's just an easy feature to work with and it gets me where I need to
go. Now, as I'm sure you've noticed, Vista doesn't offer the Run command.
Or does it?!
To get the Run option
back for yourself, right click on the Start button
in Vista and choose Properties. Make sure you're under
the Start Menu tab and then click the Customize
button. Scroll down near the bottom of that list and checkmark the box
that says "Run command." Once you've done that,
click OK. In the next window, click Apply,
then OK again. Now, go and click your Start button. What
do you see? Yep, the Run command is back and ready for some action. Yes!
