Is there anyway to integrate the run box into the taskbar in win xp? I'm sick of going to start -> run, once every 10 minutes.

The only thing I can see like it is the link bar, but that only works for websites\filesystem. I'd like something to just sit in the corner of my task bar so I can run different commands straight off it, without having to open a popup menu first.

Does anyone know anything like this, I've given a quick search of google but couldn't find anything.

right click, toolbars -> address
you get an address bar you can enter links/etc. into.
as IE and explorer are so tightly coupled, bobs your uncle

One way is using Konfabulator!

You'll have to get the Run widget as well.

If speed is that important to you why are you using a mouse at all?
