If you enable this setting, the following changes occur:
(1) TheRuncommand is removed from the Start menu.
(2) The New Task (Run) command is removed from Task Manager.
(3) The user will be blocked from entering the following into the Internet
Explorer Address Bar:
--- A UNC path: \\<server>\<share>
---Accessing local drives: e.g., C:
--- Accessing local folders: e.g., \temp>

Also, users with extended keyboards will no longer be able to display theRundialog box by pressing the Application key (the key with the Windows
logo) + R.

If youdisableor do not configure this setting, users will be able to
access theRuncommand in the Start menu and in Task Manager and use the
Internet Explorer Address Bar.

users from using other methods torunprograms.
