I saw on a Microsoft seminar that you can have the run shell right on the
taskbar, so if you want to, you can type "cmd" right there instead of opening
the start menu and click on the run entry.

Anyone knows how to do that?

Hi Andrea,

Right click on an empty area of the taskbar and point to 'toolbars' and select 'address'. You can
type website URLs and such using the address bar on the taskbar.

Although it's called the "Address" bar, you can type commands
there too. Just type CMD in the bar.

Similarly, you can type URLs in the Start | Run dialog box. The
Start | Run dialog box and the Address bar, despite their very
different names, are actually both the same.

You can enter anything in the Address toolbar that you can enter in the
Run box. Why didn't you try it?

It's not the same. They have different rules. It's an address bar.

Experiment,

Type a dot in Start Run and an address bar and see one difference.

They may not be exactly the same, as your example shows, but for
most purposes they are. Differences are few and slight.

The differences are enough to make it useless for me. I need a Run box not an address bar.
