Part of the fun of working with a new operating system is learning all about the new features that come along with any major new OS release - and part of the frustration of working with a new OS is finding out that you can't do things the way you've gotten used to doing them! Let's face it, we're all creatures of habit, and looking for old familiar features that are either hidden or removed can be very frustrating!
Take the Run line in Windows, for instance. I personally use the Run line a great deal, especially for Telnet. I just open the Run line, type in the word "telnet" followed by the IP address of the router I need to connect to, and that's it!
Microsoft Vista doesn't quite see it that way, though. I recently purchased a Vista laptop and had been quite happy with the new features, and then I went to use the Run line... and it wasn't there!
While the Run line isn't present by default, it's quite easy to find and make available for future use. I've used the Windows Help and Sup |
