Shortcut to run?

If I was to link to run through a shortcut, how would I do then? just typing run wont work, typing notepad works, is there even a 'run' thing, I hope you know what I mean, the little console you can reach via the start menu :) not to be mistak...

Well one way is to drag the shortcut from the start menu. It says the target is "&Run..". Just drag it though. Worked heer.

ViolentGreen, im not sure what you mean, how can I drag that one to the desktop.

just to clarify what I mean --> http://www.home.no/hipshot/run.gif (inside the red circle)

nebus, Ive disabled x-shortcuts, so thats a no go.

update, I know why i couldent drag it Violentgreen, cause Im using the oldschool simple and neat start menu look, you cant drag from that, tested the new xpish menu, and worked fine, thanks.
