Re: Run command in taskbar

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

OR you could simply R-click the taskbar> go to Toolbars and uncheck the address
bar and then cheat a bit by using the WinKey+R combination to bring up the run
dialog when you want it. I think the OP was referring to the Run dialog and not
cmd.exe
