Any sensible admin would disable command prompt access on a public 
computer, so that's probably what you're running into in VT. They've 
probably also disabled access to alot of other stuff a personal computer 
would have under a vanilla XP install. On non-public, non-locked-down 
computers, "run" is one of the main items on the start menu.
