Idea for Run

The Start menu doesn't have a Run. However, right off the bat after
sitting down to Vista I noticed I wanted to use Run. In reflection, I guess
it got removed as it is a security risk? Anyway, it would be nice to have
it back. I thought that if it was brought back, the system could ask
permission - as it pretty much does for everything else - then offer a
run box with a check-box for "Run as Adminstrator". If that is not
allowed, the check-box could be greyed out.

Just an idea ..

Right click on the start menu - properties - somewhere in there is the
option to show Run on the start menu just like good ole XP...

Just as it is in WinXP:

Right-click Taskbar > Properties > Start Menu > Customize > Show Run
Command....

I don't like the new Windows Vista Start Menu, so I always change it back to
the Classic Windows 2000 Start Menu by Right Clicking the Start Menu and
selecting Properties, and selecting Classic Start Menu, Apply, Close.
