Merge run to Explorer address bar!

Windows keeps Windows Explorer Address Bar and Run Dialog as separate items. But you can use your address bar as the Run dialog, to launch some applications.
So you can type and launch special words like regedit, cmd,... in Address Bar and launch 'em...

You must be an administrator of your computer and registry editor and Run dialog must be active. 

Open Run (Start >> Run )
Type “regedit”

  
Registry editor will open.
In the left panel, follow the path below..
HKEY_CURRENT_USER USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\band\address

Now Double Click “Use Path” field in right pane and set value to 00000001 .

Now, Close Registry editor and restart computer.

Your address bar became a Run dialog.
To undo changes , change above string value data to 00000000 .
Create a new string value if "Use path" doesn't exists..
