When I first started using Windows Vista I ran into this problem. I couldn't find where the "Run" link was! I finally had to google it...(having not known the hot keys to get it all these years... tsk tsk) So in case you have just bought/installed Windows Vista (poor soul) and you are googling "WHERE THE H3!! IS MY RUN????" Well here it is...
To open the "Run" window in Windows Vista,
1. While holding the windows key (the key with the windows emblem on it).
2. Press the 'R' key.
BANG! there is it! lol
Cheers,

I don't have a "windows" key on my keyboard nor have I ever seen a "windows" key on any keyboard. My suggestion for anyone starting out in Vista is to use th Classic View until you get use to all the different control panel items and what they do and how to configure (or re configure) them. Then if you are bored and are in dire need of a real mind _ _ _K then switch to the new user unfriendly GUI and enjoy. I have more use for the "run" window than "search" anyways.

Here's the long way around:
Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> Run
Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> Run

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
