I was wondering if it is possible, in Windows XP Pro to place a
shortcut to the run command on the desktop. I am running as an
Administrator. Thanks

Create a shortcut and point it at cmd.exe.

Not a Desktop shortcut but WINKEY+R is a quick way of getting to it.

Press the Winkey + R on your keyboard.

I am also looking for information about creating a shortcut to "Run" in Windows XP. From the material I have read online the only available solutions are to (A) Copy the shortcut out of the start menu or (B) Forget a shortcut and just use Winkey + R. I would like to find out, if possible, how to create a shortcut to RUN manually; entering an actual string of information in to the "Target" textbox of a shortcut.

Hey Folks!

Just found this procedure on the web - hope it helps!

1. Create a text file named Run.js, which contains the following line:

(new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).FileRun();

2. Right-click Run.js and select "Create shortcut"
3. Right-click the created shortcut and select "Properties"
4. Add "WScript.exe " (Without quotes) to the beginning of "Target:"
5. If wanting to change the icon of the shortcut press "Change Icon" else press "Ok"

Cheers

You can simply drag and drop the Run icon from the start menu to wherever you want your shortcut to be created...

If your using xp and you have the start menu set to classic you need to change it, you cant drag and drop the run in classic mode.
