See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Windows XP Security Console. This utility is designed to allow you to implement many of the Group Policy Settings on a "per user" basis, rather than machine wide. By default, Group Policies (applied via GPEDIT) in a non-domain environment, apply to all users.

Sorry, fighting with the Web-UI at the moment ;-)
Corrections to my post inline:

HKCU\SoftwareMicrosoft\WIndows\\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
Your should see a value called "NoRun". Set this to "0", and your "Run.."

This is in fact wrong. The values you are looking for should be:

HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System
"DisableCMD" for the command prompt

and
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
"DisableRegistryTools" for RegEdit

Set both to "0" and you should be fine.
