VISTA BOX FOR WINDOWS 10 KEYGEN
The first surprise was an IPv6 address, presumably assigned automatically by APIPA. Once I figured out the Vista Run command in general, and the CMD prompt in particular, I was able check the Vista IP settings. Hiding the ‘Run’ command, seems like a pre-empt of Group Policies, since they usually prevent ordinary users seeing the Run box.
Perhaps future generations of ordinary users will not be aware of the existence of Run and CMD. Vista’s new behaviour of hiding the Run command is clearly ‘by design’. Then, one day, I remembered the old trick of pressing Windows Key and R, which launched the Run box, from there I typed CMD. What I did was find the cmd executable and drag it onto the Quick Launch bar. In truth, what I actually did was to go around the houses. My screen shot opposite is a thumbnail, and so enlarges if you double click. Scroll down, until I found Run Command and ticked the box. If I really wanted to be a Luddite and display the obsolete Run command, the obvious solution, (in retrospect) was to click on the flashy new Start Button, Properties, Start Menu and Customize. Luddite – Old Ways of Launching the Run Command A case of learn a tool in one area and then apply that knowledge to another interface. You will also find Quick Search (a sister of Start Search), in the new Windows Explorer. What I particularly liked was the way the interface displayed all the matching programs as I typed just the first few letters. See screenshots opposite.Īs you configure Vista so you will come to love the way that the new Start Search subtly combines the best of the old XP ‘Run box’, with the improved Vista Quick Search. All that you need is to type the name of the executable, e.g. What I should have done was simply use Vista’s new Start Search dialog box, in the same way I used the old ‘Run’ command in XP. The root cause was Guy being a Luddite and trying do something the old way. When I failed to find the Vista Run command, the fact that I was attempting this task on Friday the 13th, should have rung alarm bells. An Even Better Solution – Run as Administrator.Problem ‘The requested operation requires elevation’.As ever, keep your eye on Vista’s security, for example, ‘Run as administrator’.
This page will explain how XP’s ‘Run’ command has been incorporated into Vista’s ‘Start Search’.
