Run95 is a clone of the Windows 95 run dialog box


Overview:

This is a copy of the Windows 95 Run Dialog Box. The implementation as a standalone executable file has a great advantage over the original: you can create a shortcut on your desktop and assign a hotkey to it, and the Run Dialog Box is ready on the spot!


Review:

I have never used Windows 95 so i was surprised when i stumbled into a little app called Run95 which attempts to clone the Windows 95 run dialog box. This may seem useless nowadays but Run95 has some interesting features like portability and the ability to stay open after launching something. So if you are looking for a little blast from the past Run95 maybe worth a look. Available for Windows 2000/XP/Vista.

Usually, the "Windows + R" keyboard shorctut opens the run dialog box.

However in systems where this is featur disabled, This could come in handy. Thanks!
