Does anyone know HOW to pin the "Run" command to the taskbar
o WITHOUT having to resort to a Windows search just to do that!
<Loading Image...>
HINT: It's not as simple as just _finding_ the shortcut!
o It's more fundamental to understanding how that "Run" cmd works!
...\Startup\System Tools\Run.lnk...

Since the question is thus unanswered...

I'm adding two groups in the hopes _someone_ knows Windows well enough to
answer this question for how to pin the RUN command shortcut to the Win10
taskbar WITHOUT needing to resort to using the inconsistent Windows Search
mechanism (which is a lousy way to document how to do anything).

The two new groups added in the hopes of solving the question, are:

Does pressing the Windows + R keys not work in Windows 10?

Hi Tod Vargo,

Yes, but that's not the question. :)

I do very much appreciate that you attempted to answer the question, as,
well, as Lord knows, every post to Usenet risks the psychopaths like Snit,
Diesel, Alan Baker, Cybe(r) Wizard, Dan Purgert, et al., coming out and
attacking us - just for having a polite technical conversation seeking
better solutions (or better ways to document those solutions, as this
is the case thereof).

In summary, this is what I had posted long ago to illustrate the question:
<https://i.postimg.cc/2jtPybp0/run01.jpg>
This is what I have been using ever since pinning that shortcut:

Where the pinned "Run.lnk" shortcut Properties are:
Location: C:\Users\{uname}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar
As shown below which I just screenshotted for Mike Easter:

As in this thread just now discussing the "Start > Run" syntax:
o *Tutorial: How to enable the Telnet Client in Windows 10*
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.comp.freeware/pEhuvzzFBTU/1TGUUkrfAQAJ>

The _only_ goal of this question is to pin the "Run.lnk"
to the Windows 10 taskbar for those of us who run that command
shortcut scores upon scores upon scores of times every day,
WITHOUT needing to resort to the Windows "search" command.

(Search is an appalling way to document _any_ command, IMHO). :)

And the polite, "adult" way to have conversations is to bring up people
who aren't even involved, Liar?

Riiiiight, because a utility that will require typing immediately after
it launches is such a chore to launch...

...by typing.

Windows Key.

Type "run"

When it appears at the top of the list, right-click and choose "Pin to
Taskbar".

Done.
