Registy Modifications

[chrisalviola]

I am aware that PC security programs modify the registry to remove or make restrictions on windows, i want to know what registry values if theres any i would change to remove the "RUN" command on the start menu.

You can just customize the start menu and uncheck the "RUN" command to show on the start up list.

RIGHT CLICK on taskbar>Properties>Start Menu>Customize>Advanced

Scroll down, near the end.. uncheck "Run Command"

This is Windows 98 I dont think you have that option.

this will remove the run command on the startmenu in Win98.

Well...good to know

I'll make you paranoid and guess that there are "backdoors" to the "Run" command. But don't quote me on that lol.
