Nope...No where to be found

Sorry, Was hoping that you just missed it...

Found it...

1: Open Properties for your taskbar
2: Click on 2nd tab
3: In the list of items under the heading: Start Menu Items, scroll down and
check mark "Run Command", just under "Network Connections".

to yours.

OK, try this one:

Go to line 29 and you can download a script which *should* restore it.....

I'm on a roll now...
And if the above doesn't work, there's this also from Kellys site:

Run Command Missing

Right click the Start button and select Properties, then Customize. Scroll
down and put the check mark in the Show Run entry. If you're using the new
Start panel, its on the Advanced tab.

Or check your settings here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explore
r
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Explor
er

Value Name: NoRun
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)

Note: It seems that under "XP Theme", not more than eleven (11) items can be
displayed together at the right-hand column (with blue background), which at
times, disables/removes the Run Command even with it being checked.

Ok guys thanks for the help..I cracked it myself..After a
year of not having the run command I had to find it..So
many hours at the computer and alot of coffee..ITS
BACK..To anyone with this problem, please read the post
first befor you do this..If you have the same problem
then here is the fix..Start with the {command
prompt}...and type..{GPEdit.msc}...{group policy} will
come up..And the next steps are..{Administrative
templates}.{start menu and taskbar}.{remove run menu
frome start menu}.{disabled}.{apply}There ya have
it ...wow all that for a run command...lol..peace
