Deleting System Options from the Start menu

You can actually remove the Find and Run options from the start
menu by performing a simple registry hack. Again like always
Launch the registry editor and scroll down to the below key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Policies\Explorer
Right-click on the right pane and select New, DWORD Value. Name
it NoFind.(To remove the RUN option name it NoRun). Double-click
the newly create DWORD to edit it's value and enter 1 as its value.
This will disable the FIND option of the Start Menu and will also
disable the default Shortcut key(F3 for Find.)

To restore the Run or find command modify the value of the
DWORD to 0 or simply Delete the DWORD value.
