The Run on the Start menu is not the same as the command prompt. It is just
a dialog box provided by the operating system for the user to manually start
(hence "Run") a program. This happens when the program is either in the
System Root directory (such as C:\windows\System32 on Windows XP) or when
you know the physical path to the program, file or any other resource.
The command prompt is one of the programs in the System32 directory. So to
open it, you can use either this Run dialog box or better still, on Windows
XP go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories and arrow down to Command
Prompt.
Run is just a faster way of opening it if you don't want to get into all
this maze of menus and submenus. If you are like myself and you constantly
use the command prompt, just pin it to the start menu, or even just allocate
a hot key to it from its Properties Tab.

It's been ages since I needed to know this but is the Run... on the Start
Menu the same as the Command Prompt? If not, where is it?
TIA
