Doesn't Run in Windows 7 turned off by default?

Even if it was before, you can bring it back, by right clicking taskbar, and fiddling with settings after selecting properties.

right click on win7 startmenu, select properties
click "customize" button
scroll down & check "Run command"

ok->apply, thats it ;)

alternatively you can press "windows key + R" as @sygeek posted.

You can use the search box at the bottom to execute any commands.

Well, the thing as in Windows 7 there is no direct button for Run. The search box is also the run box,

Just press Windows button(and while holding it) press the R button.

If it still doesnt come up. Then you might be using a Account with restricted access

:confused:

actually i was asking the OP that how did he managed to delete the RUN option from start menu.

and just for the sake of information, Windows 7 Does have a RUN option in start menu. Atleast in my PC it has :p :D
