How to Enable Run Command on Windows Vista
Some of my blog readers and my friends are asking where they could find the run command window on their Vista machine that are visible and can easily access to from Microsoft OS version except for Vista. I told them that it is not necessary because the Vista start menu search has also the same function as run command. The reason why they like the old style run dialog is that they are use to it and it saved the history of what they had typed in.
There are two easy way to launch run command dialog. One is by hitting Win+R and second is enabling it by customizing the start menu properties.
Here’s how you can customize your Start Menu:
Right click on your Vista Orb then select properties:
Under the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties click on the Customize button, It will bring you to this window
Put a check on the “Run Command” checkbox. Click OK
The “Run…” button should now appear on your Vista Start Menu.

nice one post to understand how to exactly run the run command.please provide some more details regarding the different sites.
I run Windows Vista (Ultimate) and was also wondering where the Run command were. On XP I normally used it to access the registry, the run command makes it a lot quicker.

That sounds like missing modem drivers. You need to find out what sort of modem it is first, then you can search online for it by name.
