It is also possible to create a normal shortcut with an icon that points to the "Run..." dialog.
- Create a text file named Run.js, which contains the following line:
(new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).FileRun();
- Right-click Run.js and select "Create shortcut"
- Right-click the created shortcut and select "Properties"
- Add "WScript.exe " (Without quotes) to the beginning of "Target:"
- If wanting to change the icon of the shortcut press "Change Icon" else press "Ok"
Note if using Windows XP, then one can also create the icon by dragging the "Run..." icon from the Start Menu to the Desktop (Doesn't work in Classic Mode).(new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).FindFiles();

Many thanks for posting this! I have looked everywhere and after nearly an hour of searching found your page. It works great in my desktop organizer TurboLaunch.
Very useful! I used it to set a shortcut in Logitech SetPoint to create a shortcut to the Run prompt on one of my keyboard's "Enhanced F keys". I use Run all the time, so this is a real convince to me!
