I wrote the RUN-Box to utilize the enourmous launching capability of the ahk-Run command directly from the Desktop.

It´s a little Dektop-Wigdget or Desklet or whatever that allows you to type a command, filename or URL in a little Box stuck to the dektop. As long as Run supports it, it will be launchend.

Edit: Due to requests from some Friends i added some more funtionality

RUN-Box Version 2

No problem:
modify, copy, reuse in any-way. There are no restrictations.

It would be nice though, if you would post your version here, too.
