Hello Bruce,

Try this:

Copy the text below between the dotted lines, but not the dotted lines
themselves. Open Notepad and paste it in. Save the result in a
suitable location as Start.reg - making sure that the default .txt
extension doesn't appear in the file name (Save as type = All Files).
Double-click on the saved .reg file to merge the contents.
Restart.

Right-click the Start button, Properties, Customize.

Right click the search button and click Porperties > Click Customize and go to
Advanced tab. Tick "Search" and "Run" and click OK twice.

Good Luck, Ayush.

Is the Run Command checked off here: 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.
