Here is a link that may help:
http://www.theeldergeek.com/run_commands_specific_to_the_registry.htm
Since the run command is missing you can't run the registry editor from there. Browse to: C:\WINDOWS and run the regedit.exe file. You must be an Administrator to run the editor.
Good Luck

Here is another document that I found:
To remove the Run command from the Start Menu,
Fire up the registry editor.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Double-click NoRun on the right pane and change it to from 0 to 1.
To restore the Run command, reverse the steps by changing 1 to 0.
The same will apply as above to run the registry editor.

there is no explorer in the first solution u provided and in the second there is no Norun.
Add Norun as a DWORD with 1 as the value.

....and then there is the straightforward way. Go Start, rclick in the header or tail, click Properties >start menu > customise > advanced, and check run command.
It's actually a neat lil spot if u use the Start menu much.....
