SYMPTOMS

You can bypass the "Remove Run Menu from Start Menu" policy. You can start a program if you type hcp:// followed by the path and file name in the Address box of Microsoft Internet Explorer, and then click Open.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because content-linking functionality in Help and Support Center does not follow the Remove Run Menu from Start Menu policy.

MORE INFORMATION

The Remove Run Menu from Start Menu policy removes the Run command from the Start menu, and prevents users from starting programs from Task Manager, Internet Explorer or other programs. It also disables the functionality that makes it possible for a user to display the Run dialog box by pressing the APPLICATION+R key combination. The content-linking functionality in Help and Support Center makes it possible for users to directly start programs in the content by clicking a link.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
