Hi Willard,

Click Start/Run and type REGEDIT

Navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

In the right-pane, double-click the value named "NoRun" and set it to 0

Logoff-logon back for the changes to take effect.

Under the Windows XP Home Edition I use a specific profile for most of my 
work.  This profile does not have a RUN command Icon on the Start Menu.  When 
I try to use the "Windows+R" command to get a RUN menu, it gives me the 
following error message:
This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this 
computer.  Please contact your system administrator
Any suggestions on how to log in as a system administrator to a Windows XP 
Home Edition (We only have one computer) and how to restore the RUN command 
to this profile?
P.S. -  On other profiles the RUN command still appears on the Start Menu.
