run command in search box
Hi all,
I have until recently used windows 7's search box as a "run command" replacement, typing cmd, frontpg, winword, excel, etc.. to open these programs quickly.
Recently my search box stopped working like this and is now only a... search box. If I type CMD it will no longer run command prompt, but will search from CMD within my PC.
I know I can Window+R or even add the run command back to the start menu, but I really want to use the search box for run command as I have been doing.
Any ideas what can cause this and how to fix? I've already searched for virus and malware but nothing found after using 2 different programs and also kapersky's online scan.
Thanks to all.
Kindly,
DJ LM
