Run command disappears in Start menu in windows XP

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the "C:WindowsSystem32" directory. Within this directory, locate the "gpedit.msc" file and double-click on it.  This should open up the Group Policy Editor.  Navigate to "User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Start Menu and Taskbar". On the right side of the screen, locate the policy labeled "Remove Run menu from Start Menu" and double-click on it.  Set this policy to "disabled". Click the Apply button, followed by the OK button. Within a few minutes the Run option should become available again. This set of instructions will work on Windows XP Professional Edition, but I am pretty sure that the gpedit.msc file is not available on Windows XP Home Edition.  If this is the edition you are on, then go to "http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm" and locate the link labeled "Restore the Run Command".

How to know the broadcast address of your network

In this post I am going to expalin about "how do we know the broadcast address of the network" ? Example Provide the broadcast address for the following: IP Address: 221.240.224.121 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.248 Method I currently use. 2^Nth - 2 = number of usable subnets.  2^5 - 2 = 30 subs 256 - last mask number = first network 256-248 = 8 or 221.240.224.8 Now add network range to itself equal to the total subnets calculated earlier to find all range start points. Stop when ip address falls in a range. .8 .16 .24 ... .112 .120 (bingo) Add range - 1 to start point to find broadcast. 120 + (8 - 1) = 127. That is a pretty long process. I do know of 2 sort cuts mainly divide till you find the range you want. Like start with 121/8 = 15.125 so to high try 120/8 =15 whole number so start of a range. Also instead of adding subnet start with range - 1. Just go up a range and subtract one. 120 jump to 128 subtract 1 = 127. Anyone have any poin
