Accessing the Run command

Starting with Windows 95, the Run command is accessible through the Start menu and also through the shortcut key. (Windows key + R) Although the command is still present in Windows Vista, it no longer appears directly on the Start menu by default, in favor of the new search box and a shortcut to the Run command in the Accessories sub-menu.-KB
