Question : Hiding RUN and FIND lines of Start Menu

Dear Experts:

It's a well-known fact that we can hide RUN and FIND lines of the START MENU using MS Policy Editor (poledit.exe). But, I wonder exactly what changes POLEDIT does to the Registry and whether it is possible to hide/unhide RUN and FIND manually, by editing the Registry. Unfortunately, my Registry file is of enormous size, ans I failed to trace the changes in question.

Your help would be highly appreciated.
Respectfully,
PP

Answer : Hiding RUN and FIND lines of Start Menu

ppdanila, here's a step by step for you.

1. Start Regedit

2.Go to

HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies

3.There should already be at least an Explorer key

NOTE: Additional keys that can be created under Policies are System, Network and WinOldApp, you can then add DWORD values set to 1 in the appropriate keys.

4. In the left window, right click on the word policies and then select NEW, then DWORD Value.

5. In the small box type in the following:

NoRun

and then touch enter.

6. Now in the right window, right click on the entry you just made "NoRun" and then choose modify.

A small window will open showing a default to 0 (zero). Change this to 1 and then click OK.

No repeat this process, substituting NoFind for NoRun.
