Lest we not forget, Windows + R = Run box, hidden or not. But on top of that I agree with idsanity, the search field is a pretty decent replacement for the run box. Will launch programs by name, find programs by alias on start menu, launch urls or UNCs. Pretty much does everything.[/quote] Yes, the search is an amazing idea. I switched back to XP a few days ago, because of lack of compatibility as of now. However I did use it for months, and the search bar was the most missed thing. I hope someone makes an app for XP like that. I launched everything except browsers with it. I also like its placement in the lower left corner.
