We disabled the run command in our GPO and now realizes that that disables
using UNC pathing in Windows Explorer. Is there any way around this?
 
Only way appears to be to disable or do not configure the Remove Run menu
from Start Menu setting.

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\
Remove Run menu from Start Menu

From gpedit.msc Remove Run menu from Start Menu Explain...
[[Allows you to remove the Run command from the Start menu, Internet
Explorer, and Task Manager.

If you enable this setting, the following changes occur:
(1) The Run command is removed from the Start menu.
(2) The New Task (Run) command is removed from Task Manager.
(3) The user will be blocked from entering the following into the Internet
Explorer Address Bar:
--- A UNC path: \\<server>\<share>
---Accessing local drives: e.g., C:
--- Accessing local folders: e.g., \temp>

Also, users with extended keyboards will no longer be able to display the
Run dialog box by pressing the Application key (the key with the Windows
logo) + R.

If you disable or do not configure this setting, users will be able to
access the Run command in the Start menu and in Task Manager and use the
Internet Explorer Address Bar.

Note: This setting affects the specified interface only. It does not prevent
users from using other methods to run programs.

Note: It is a requirement for third-party applications with Windows 2000 or
later certification to adhere to this setting.]]
