Run command missing from start menu in XP
- Thread starter tomphy
- Start date
Are these home PC's? if so looks like the virus was playing with your registry.
Try the following,
Open a command prompt (CMD) from accessories menu -> type "gpedit.msc" expand the user configuration node -> expand admin templates -> click "Start Menu and Taskbar -> int he right pane look for "remove run menu from start menu from start menu" it should be set to "not configured" if it is double click it set to enable, click apply, then set to disable and click apply. if it's set to enabled then set to disable. Reboot and see if run's back on the start menu.
Let me know what happens.

Run Command Missing
Thanks a ton Techy.Now my problems are solved.
They both are home PC's. But one problem is still pending. When I try to open the folder options I am not able to find it in the window. Instead of Folder options i can find only Network drive options like ( Map network drive..Disconnect Network drive.., Synchronize..)
It all started after i got infected by that virus. Is there any solution for this problem?

I have a computer given to me from a friend - the run menu is also missing form my start menu. I have asked other people,and they recommend someyhing like going into regestry editor and editing something called norun from 1 to 0. How can I get into registry editor, if i can find run? I have again asked some people hw to do this and they say to do somethig with the c drive in my computer, however its missing also. Im not sure what you are saying about a command prompt as well.
I am quite new to computers and computer talk, so go easy.

ah
ok - I realsie what a command promp is now. But it is missing as well from the accessories menu! I have also noticed another few odd things. Namely the control panel has only got folder options, and printers... and Ctrl-Alt -Del ISNT isnt working!
I am not sure this is a virus - just the previous owner blocked these things. I think this because I cant access the internet from the computer.
Could it be a virus anyway?
Cheers

It is a virus called quickinfo. You will be affected with this virus if you get a link www.quickinfonews site. It comes through yahoo messenger. Once it is affected if you try to use any USB storage devices then it will get tranferred to that and will attack the next system. So even after removal of the virus you will have to clean all the USB devices used in the system.
It will show all the symptoms which you told, like the default page will become quickinfor page, the run command will disappear, ctrl + alt+ del wont work & the folder options will disappear.

Need help please. - Programs affected
I think I have same issue. I have done the first option and changed the settings and the turn off and run command came back. But now when I open say Adobe CS it says this: You are not allowed to continue because your account dose not have the proper privileges. Please log in using an account with administrator privileges and try again.
How do I fix this issue. I do have admin right and I checked.
Please let me know soon as I am stuck unable to do anything now.
