It’s been a while since my last post, partly because of being busy and partly writer’s block. Anyway, today I’ll start talking about the run tool on Windows. It is a tool that I use extensively, and if you get used to it, you will rarely need to use your start menu.
Firstly, the run tool can be accessed via Start > Run... So you need to use the start menu to even use run? Well no, it can also be initiated via the shortcut of Windows Logo + r (When I mention ‘Windows Logo’ I refer to the keyboard button with the windows symbol on it).
As an example, try opening the run interface (Windows + r), and then type “iexplore” and hit enter. If done correctly, you will see Internet Explorer start up. In this way, you will be able to start your applications without the need to navigate to shortcuts and click. Try other application like Firefox (firefox), Live Messenger (msnmsgr) and experiment with other applications you might have installed.
