hi,
I am using windows XP. I noticed that the Run option is not appearing in the start menu. What might be the reason and what can I do to bring the run option back on the start menu?

thanks

Use Control Panel: Task Bar and Start Menu: Start Menu tab: Customize... button: check "Display Run". It works on Classic Start Menu, so it should work if you using stock XP Start Menu.

Yap that'll do...

right click start button, click properties, if start menu is selected, click customize then advance tab. In start menu item, check on run command.

and for classic start menu, customize, in advance start menu option, check on display run.

enjoy! L][nk

thanks for your support. I tried both options but the "display run" does not appear in the list.
Sounds strange.

I had to look 3 times before I saw it. You may want to tripple check.

The directions above are correct but you might consider a simpler solution...

Stone, on your keyboard press and hold the Windows key (in between Ctrl and Alt on your left) or (in between Alt and Option on the right) and press R

so Windows + R will bring up run =)

Good Luck.

you're welcome bartonc...

yap I forgot about that also... :D

if you still can't display or show your the run command...try to search your registry and find norun, change the value to 0.

btw, you can find the regedit.exe in windows folder.

cheers!

Thanks Cyberdyne .
Still no result . A message is displayed "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." when I press Windows button and R.
And also the regedit option is also not working. It displays the system administrator message again. What can I do to change the settings ?
