Do a search on google for openrun.exe, that should do what you want.

@ ziptrx

this could be what i was looking for, but unfortunately it does't work

@ hiub

if i google "openrun.exe" there are 3 results only, hmmm... and nothing i can work with (maybe you)

@ vkeios

An oldie but a goodie: Run95 (http://www.flos-freeware.ch/misc.html)

Standalone EXE that emulates the functionality of a dialog.

Glad you found it, the app I was talking about is just like that one. It also came with an shortcut to open the "Shut Down" dialog which was neat. Let me know if you want them and I will send them to you.

@ hiub,

thanks for your offer, but i still got it with the link from gtn here

That replacement must work great on win98 or NT... but it doesn't on XP.

XP users do this: create a shortcut of the Run Dialog (drag it from the startmenu) to your desktop,

cut it and paste it anywhere you want, and drag it over the dock.

[patstome]

well, i'm still using XP, and the run95 .exe file is working great here .

and your suggestion isn't working. that's why i started this thread.

i can drag and drop the shortcut to the dock how often i want, but nothing happens when i click on it. sure you can use it?

[chermany4ever]

Yeah... it works perfectly. Just make sure to make a shortcut to the desktop or any folder first, not the dock. Then, drag that shortcut into the dock. Works for me.

The replacement is not working here.

I'm using Windows XP SP2.

Really nice one I just downloaded is called SysCmd, and it allows you to choose from 16 system commands including Run, Find etc. from a right click. The last option you chose becomes the default whenever you left-click it - it's really very very helpful!!
