Link to the "run" application in Object dock

from WinCustomize Forums
Does anyone know how to get a link to "run" in objectdock? Since this isn't an ordinary program, but a system-thingy, I can't find a way to get it...

Search and Run are in the registry, and don't seem to have any available root links that are visible in any mode.

I may be wrong, but I think we are out of luck getting these ones without something being written into the program.

You can use the WinKey+R for Run, and WinKey+F for Search.

Again, I may be wrong on this one.

My personal favorite way to do this is to use the Syscmd docklet. Works very, very nice.

do this:

-have your documents folder or some other folder for storage open. open the start menu, or wherever you've seen a run shortcut to the run command, and right drag it into the folder, selecting 'create shortcut here'. after doing this you should be able to drag that shortcut to your dock, or at least i have with a 4 tab dock in obdock pro. i've also done this with the 'Sounds and Audio Devices' control panel and 'Network Connections'.

Thanks fo the help guys, turned out to be really simple, as eFuNk explained... Now I have another question: If this is so simple, why do some of you prefer docklets to handle it? Do they have any extra options?
