Hi Peter

The search function is very good and handy.
Also, you can right-click the Windows icon.

It's in Computer Name & Workgroup dialog, which can be got to with sysdm.cpl, except that they've removed Run from the Start menu and instructions on their web page for getting to it are incorrect.

Simplest way I found; click the search icon, type Run, right click on 'Run' in the list that comes up, and add it to the taskbar.

For people like me, a good OS UI makes everything transparently available. For corporate managers, a good OS hides everything except what the manager is comfortable allowing her users to do. Guess which group M$oft is playing to?
