2. If i hide the run command but not allow the "run" window to appear in the START area - how can i access it incase i need to make changes?

when you do a ctrl+alt+del to bring up the task manager if you click "file" you get a run box. You might want to hide that as well. I don't know if the stuff DS3Circuit told you about would hide that one. It might... I genuinely don't know.

Hi,
 
You could try adding the Guest Accounts' User name into the policy that you wish to edit. That way restricting specific users and not the all guest.
 
Using the 'Windows Key' + 'R' will bring up the RUN command, but I'm not sure if this will work once you disable it.
