Add the "Run" item to the Vista start menu

                  The impact of Windows Vista's powerful search capabilities is comprehensive and can effectively improve the efficiency of your daily work. However, for some of the friends who are used to Windows XP operation, it may be inconvenient: the "Run" command that has existed for many years in the Windows Start menu is gone, and is replaced by the search dialog box. Therefore, Vista World recently received several consecutive requests. A friend's E-mail asking how to display the run command in the Vista start menu.

From a personal point of view, this kind of thinking is a bit difficult to understand. After all, although there is no traditional running command in Windows Vista, this does not mean that the steps of directly running the command are more complicated! The search box in the Windows Vista Start menu is far more powerful than the traditional "Run" dialog: you don't even have to type the full name of the command you want to run when you search, just type the first few letters to find the command you want. Compared with the strict input of commands in the running dialog a, the convenience is self-evident. If you want to use the traditional operation instead of the search, you don't have to add it to the start menu. Press "Windows" + "R" to call up the run dialog and use it directly. It can be.

Perhaps because of these friends that the search always need to take up system resources always takes some time before they can respond? From an efficiency point of view, do you want to integrate the "Run" command directly into the Start menu? This can't be said to be unreasonable, but the search, after successful indexing, regardless of the occupancy of the system resources or the delay in response speed, personal feelings are basically negligible.

Anyway, if you insist on integrating the run command into the Windows Vista start menu, you can do the following steps:

1. Right-click on the empty space in the taskbar and select Properties. 2.;

2. Switch to the "Start Menu" tab;

3. If you are more accustomed to the Windows XP style start menu, you can directly select the "traditional start menu" here. In this way, the "Run" command will naturally appear in the menu (of course, this is the default setting of the traditional start menu, if the run command is not displayed, you need to press the "Customize" button to see if the "Show Run" item is selected); BR>
4. If you still want to use the Windows Vista style start menu, but want to add the "Run" command, select "Start Menu", click the "Customize" button on the right;

5 In the pop-up window, pull the scroll bar to the bottom, find the "Run Command" item, and tick it;
