Run On Start Menu

[John Barton]

Using IE 6 and WinXP Pro. The Run button on the start menu has disappeared.
How do I get it back?

John,

Use the WinKey + R key sequence. If you get the following error:

---------------------------
Restrictions
---------------------------
This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this
computer. Please contact your system administrator.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Open Regedit.exe and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer

and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer

Delete the "NoRun" value in the right-pane.

Close Regedit.exe and logoff.

In addition.

With the XP Start Menu...
Right click the Start button | Properties |
Start Menu tab | Customize button |
Advanced tab | Scroll down and check:
Run command | OK | Apply | OK

With the Classic Start Menu...
Right click the Start button | Properties |
Start Menu tab | Customize button |
Check: Display Run | OK | Apply | OK

If you have XP Pro and the above did not work...

Start | Run | Type: gpedit.msc | OK |

Navigate to >>
User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Start Menu and Taskbar
Remove Run menu from Start Menu
Set to Not Configured.
