So, if you want make your computer be more secure you can hide it when you leave your computer and show it again if you use the computer.

And if you edit it through Registry Editor, I think that’s not a efficient way. But if you want do to that just look here to get the trick. But if you want make it easier just write several script line but after write it you’ll get a shorter way to hide/show it.

1. Open Notepad with click Start -> Run and then type notepad in box.
   
2. And type this script in notepad:
   

Dim otakatik
ShowHideRun()
Sub ShowHideRun()
Set otakatik=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
describe="Type 0 or 1 : " & VbCrLf &_
"[0] -> Show Run Menu." & VbCrLf &_
"[1] -> Hide Run Menu."

question=InputBox(describe, "Manage Run Menu",0)

otakatik.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion" &_
"\Policies\Explorer\NoRun",question,"REG_DWORD"

If question=1 Then
MsgBox "Run menu has hidden.",VbInformation, "Hide"
Else
If question=0 Then
Msgbox "Run menu has shown",VbInformation, "Show"
otakatik.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion" &_
"\Policies\Explorer\NoRun"
Else
Msgbox "Input 0 or 1 only !",VbInformation, "Wrong Input"
ShowHideRun()
End If
End If
End Sub

3. Save it with click File -> Save As menu and then give it file name: managerun.vbs (you may change it with your favorite name and don’t forget to change Save as type combo to All Files), choose your favorite folder then click OK button.
   
4. Open the folder where the managerun.vbs was put.
   
5. Double click the file, and Manage Run Menu window will opened.
   
6. Give it value 0 to show your Run menu.
   
   
7. Or give it value 1 to hide it.
   
8. Restart your computer and try to click Start menu, if you was hid it so, Run menu will hid.
   
9. And if you try to press Windows key + R to force open Run menu, you’ll get a noticed message box.
   
10. To show it again, just open your script and give it value 0.

OK, follow this trick:
1. Open Notepad (or your favorite text editor) to type the script via Start – Run menu and type notepad in textbox then click OK button or press Enter
key.

2. And type the script like this:

Dim otakatik
ManageRegedit()
Sub ManageRegedit()
Set otakatik=WScript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
describe="Type 0 or 1 : " & VbCrLf &_
             "[0] -> Enable Regedit." & VbCrLf &_
             "[1] -> Disable Regedit."

question=InputBox(describe, "Edit Regedit",0)
otakatik.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion" &_
                        "\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools",question,"REG_DWORD"

If question=1 Then
   MsgBox "Registry is disabled.",VbInformation, "Disabled"
Else
   If question=0 Then
      Msgbox "Registry is enabled.",VbInformation, "Enabled"
      otakatik.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion" &_
                                "\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"
   Else
      Msgbox "Input 0 or 1 only !",VbInformation, "Wrong Input"
      ManageRegedit()
   End If
End If
End Sub

You can copy and paste to your notepad.

3. Save it, click File – Save As.

4. Change Save As Type to All Files and give it the name regedit.vbs (or whatever you want but the extension has to vbs).

5. Then make sure that you have the right file name format, you can see it on Notepad title bar.

6. Open your folder that containing regedit.vbs file.

7. Double click that file and Edit Regedit window will opened.

8. If you fill the textbox with value 0, Registry Editor will enable to open.

9. But if you fill it with value 1,

Registry Editor will disable to open.

10. Now, try to open your Registry Editor and you will get a notification that Registry Editor is disabled.
