The Run option in Windows is very frequently used. Even though we have the shortcut Windows Key + R for the Run command we may need it in the start. By Default Windows 7 does not have Run.. in the start menu like XP had.
Follow these simple steps to add it:
a) Press Windows Key + R to open Run dialog.
b) Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
c) Under User Configuration click on Administrative Templates and then click on Start Menu and Taskbar.
d) Look for Add Run command to the Start Menu and double click it.
e) Choose Enabled. Click OK and you're done.
