This no run command could be caused by a Virus. BackDoor-EEC.gen. McAfee DATS 9/24/09 can pick it up. Other symptoms include virus being copied to a memory stick when you insert it. No folder options to change your folder views to see hidden files in Windows XP. Watch out it is nasty...still trying to clean it out.

hello,
i have had troubles with this problem and many others like the registry editor and the folder options in windows explorer for the past 2 weeks or so.

i have been on the web for hours looking for solutions and i have only fixed the registry.

i followed all the instructions to the punctuation points in these instructions and the problem re-appears and the registry keys re-apear on reboot.

i have got up to date avast and have run several full computer and thorough scans and have an active firewall.

please help me! im going insane!

GREAT!
I FOLLOW his your instruction bro.. tHANKS A LOT
but please make it a shortcut to everyone..

1. go FIRST C:\WINDOWS\system32
2. LOOK FOR GPEDIT
3. UNDER user configuration, administrative templates, startmenu and taskbar,
4. On the rightside of your screen, look for remove run from startmenu
5. click first enables, then click apply
6. open again the remove run from startmenu then click disabled, then click apply again.
7. That's it, you have your RUN OPTION WITHOUT RESTARTING YOUR SYSTEM.

thank you so much leo..

When I click on Start>Run I get a window saying that a shortcut cannot be created here Do I want to create a shortcut on the desktop instead?

I'm not really finding any ideas to try to get by this. I did foind a RUN replacement that I can place on the desktop, but I work for a school district and placing stuff on the desktp is not a good idea. If possible, I need to fix the original Start>Run dialog box.

For some reason, GPEDIT.msc was not in my system32 folder, how can i find it, i searched it, and it immediately stoped the search and said search is complete. Please tell me how i can fix this, I scanned my computer, and i found the virus that disabled my task manager, so now i have that, but w/e i do, i cannot find out the virus that disabled run, even if it is gone, i cannot enable it yet.
please help me by emailing me:

Hey Leo,
I read your article and was really impressed with the amount of work you done with this and the others. However, my system doesn't run Windows XP Pro so I followed the second part of this article which was to run "regetit" manually. I followed your instructions step by step but when I tried to open "regedt32" (registry Editor) it comes up with an error saying "registry editing has been disabled by your administrator". Is there another way I can get through it? My computer has an anti-virus system called "The Shield Dulex" and I do full computer scans every 1-2 weeks. I tried running my computer on safe mode and tried a couple of tricks that I know but I still can't solve this problem (learnt during my schooling years. 2003 - 2008 studied Info Tech and now have a Cert II in IT).
I would be really grateful if you helped me solve this problem and I am sure there are many with the same problem I am experiencing.
thank you

Hi Leo, a little trouble, on this example, you use the run option to execute policy editor to enable run option, it confuses me. thanks

Re-read the article. Particularly the part that says "Oh. Wait. You don't have Start, Run do you? That's why you're here."

You are the best !!! I found some other stuff that helped me get Task manager and Regedit back they were little programs called Registryfix, EnableTM and TaskManagerFix just google them and you will find them. Offcourse the Run prompt was gone as well and no one was able to figure it out but you. You are a real genious my friend. Thank you, thank you.

Tushar i was working on a computer that had this problem where Registry editing was disabled by an administrator and i came across a form that provided a link to a scrip that will change the settings so you will have access again to the registry. The download page for the scrip is here: http://www.dougknox.com/security/scripts_desc/regtools.htm

My computer running Win 2000 is virtually hijacked by some virus. Though I did run the AV, The 'Run' Command window still does not show, clicking regedit32.exe / regedit.exe gives the message "Disabled by Administrator'. It is a Standalone System installed at home. How do I make the Run Command appear in such a case? and how do I regain control of my computer...ie how do i remove that Administrator...One Thing is for sure and that is the Administrator cannot be disabled from the Administrative Tools... It says cannot disable 'Built in Administrator Accounts'. Looking forward to a solution at the earliest

Thanks a million for putting me on the right path! However, I found my "NoRun" entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartMenu\StartMenu\StartMenuRun\Policy\NoRun
I deleted it and had my Run command back after reboot. I know this was caused by a nasty virus I had a couple of months ago.

Great Tips. I was affected by New Folder.exe and in my Start Menu the Run Command disappeared. Thanks to you I have it up and running.

Go here and see the post from Hunter on how to re-enable regedit. Once you're done you should be able to follow the rest of the instructions here.

Good luck :-)

To get to run without it in your menu, use the "Windows" key + R simultaneously!

i think i've been hit by a virus..
my task manager has been disabled and the run command is missing in the start menu.. this months news letter was useful.. but the solution given worked only momentarily.. in no time the run command and the task manger were disabled... i think its a virus.. i use trend micro's pc cillin 2006 which has been updated two days back.. but it failed to detect viruses... is the virus preventing the update?? cant find any other reason.. what should i now do?
