Unlike the previous versions of windows, Vista does not place a shortcut for the RUN command in the start menu by default. However, we can customize the start menu to show the RUN command. Here are the steps to be followed to show hide the RUN command.
Works on: All Versions
Step 1: Right click on the taskbar where your open windows and programs are listed and choose properties.
Step 2: "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" window would show up. Select "Start Menu" tab.
Step 3: Click on "Customize..." button.
Step 4: Scroll through the list of available options and find "Run command". Check or place a tick mark in the check box beside "Run command" to show the Run command in the Start Menu. Uncheck or clear the tick mark, to hide the Run command.
While in this window, you can also configure a lot of other options and choose how each the items in your start menu behave.
Step 5: Click OK. Again click OK in the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window.
