Shortcut to run?

If I was to link to run through a shortcut, how would I do then? just typing run wont work, typing notepad works, is there even a 'run' thing, I hope you know what I mean, the little console you can reach via the start menu not to be mistaken for the command promt, or cmd for some.

Well one way is to drag the shortcut from the start menu. It says the target is "&Run..". Just drag it though. Worked heer.
