first install a good AV and scan your system for virusses..... :p

now insert your windows XP cd and press WINKEY+R the run dialog box will pop up... now type SFC /SCANNOW

it will take some time for windows to again restore files from disc and your problem will sort out.. :p

write again if this does not solves the problem.. :D

Right click on this *www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/noclose.reg and choose Save Target As...save it to your desktop. Now double click on that noclose.reg file and choose Yes to add it to the registry. See if the shutdown entry returns after doing that (or after a restart).

to get run back try these

Right-click on the Start button

Click on Properties

Select the Start Menu tab

Press the Customize button

Select the Advanced tab

Scroll down through the Start menu items list

Check the box next to Run( uncheck and recheck if already checked)

Press OK twice


if it doesn't work try this
  • Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\gpedit.msc
  • Go to User configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Start Menu & Toolbar
  • Double click on Remove Run from start menu
  • Select Disable, then press OK
or,

In registry go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Create new DWORD Value called NoRun and set its value to 0.(might require restart)

Hope it works.
