The Run dialog is a much neglected Windows feature that provides super quick access to programs, folders, documents, and other resources, provided you know the respective launch command. It has little to do with the Windows command prompt, except that it is used to launch it.

The easiest way to open the Run dialog is by clicking the keyboard shortcut [Windows]+[R].

In Windows 7 and previous versions of Windows you can add the Run command to the Start Menu. 
In Windows 8.1 you will find Run among the options in the power menu that comes up when you right-click the desktop Start button or when you click the keyboard shortcut [Windows]+[X].
