I keep a Run Box shortcut in my QuickLaunch toolbar. It is a useful place

for it for me.

Hmmmm... Perhaps you should put shortcuts in the QuickLaunch bar,

rather than the user area of the Start Menu.

 

Try this, however:

[Part A]

1) Right-click on the Start Button

2) Choose "Properties"

3) Click on the "Start Menu" tab

4) Make sure the "Start menu" radio button is selected.

5) Click on "Customize" button

6) Scroll down in the list until you see "Run command", and make sure

its checkbox is checked.

7) "Ok" out.

 

You also might do this if Part A fails to work:

[Part B]

Do steps 1-4 above, then

1) Make sure the Check box next to "Store and display a list of

recently opened programs" (at the bottom of the page) is UNCHECKED.

(This will keep Vista from keeping a list of recently opened

programs.)

2) Do step 5 above.

3) Then, under the section labeled "Start Menu Size", make sure the

drop-down list is set to "0" ("zero", or "naught").

4) "OK" out.

 

If this still doesn't work, I advise you to REMOVE most of those

shortcuts you've put on the Start Menu, then do Part A again.

How can so many otherwise very intelligent people screw up

something so simple so badly? If you stick a computer

keyboard in front of most people, they'll suddenly drop

30 points off their IQs. Much like placing a "Pork Barrel"

bill in front of a politician: He'll forget all about

"cooperation" the minute he counts the zeroes before the

decimal point.

WinKey+R will start the Run box.

To answer your Subject question, the Run box option can be selected via the

Customize section of either the Start Menu or Classic Start Menu choices found

by a right-click on the Taskbar, select Properties > Start Menu [tab] >

Customize [button].

Thanks David,

Somehow the RUN box had become unchecked. I now have it back.
