Run box missing in Start Menu (both regular and classic)

[RAMelkus]

I have XPHome; trying to run msconfig.exe (or anything .exe); can't find Run box; have tried following: Notification/Properties/Start Menu/Customize/Advanced/Start Menu Items but Run box not mentioned (should be with Printers & Fax box, but isn't; to make
sure I checked every box in Start Menue Items; even went to Add/Remove Programs/Windows Components and checked everything there. So what to do now?

This can happen from having too many items listed on the Start Menu. The
run command is the first to go. If this is not the case, nor that Run isn't
chosen under Customize:

Restore the Run Command (Line 57)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
