I've lost the run command

I have a new laptop and it's running WinXP Home, the run
command is not in the start up menu anywhere, I haven't
been able to find anything about it on the knowledge base
can any one offer any help with this?

Hi,

Right-click the taskbar, select properties. On the Start Menu tab, click
customize, you can add the run prompt on the advanced tab.

Right click the Start Button, take Properties. Click Customise and on
the Advanced page look in the panel for "Run Command", check it and OK
out, clicking Apply wherever it is not greyed out

In addition, added info:

Is the Run Command checked off he Right click the Start
Button/Properties/Customize/Advanced/Run Command

If this is not the case:

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.
