I have to say I doubt the usefulness of this on its own, given that this is a standard setting in the built-in ADM files.

The user policy is trumped by a computer policy for the same thing.
Other policies affect the behaviour, such as "do not process the legacy run list"
If this is also configured in the standard policy settings, you would have to check your link order carefully.

(incidentally, are you sure about that REG path? The built-in policies use:
HKLM|HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio n\Policies\Explorer\Run!{1,2,3,...} according to the documentation, although I know that software\policies is more usual for most settings. Odd.)
