on my start button I then click "run" to get the command going, but here is
the problem. I click on run and nothing happens! I think my son used a tweak
on this and now disabled it. is there a vbs script that will turn it back
on? much thanks in advance....

Pressing the Windows key + the R key will open Run.

Does that work?


Try this...

Read the instructions at the top of the page.

Restore the Run Command

norun.reg is the file that you want.

This is a band-aid, but try this.

Copy and paste the lines between the dashes into Notepad. Do not
include the dashes. Save it as Run.vbs Make sure that the file does not
get saved as Run.vbs.txt. If it does you can change it to Run.vbs

-------- Do not include this --------

Dim objShell
set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.FileRun

set objShell = nothing

-------- Do not include this --------

If double clicking Run.vbs opens the Run command for you, move it to your
Start Menu.
