PowerPoint 2016 Run Program Broken

In the most recent version Microsoft have decided that the Run Program command in Actions has security issues.

Their response was to disable the command (without telling anyone.)

If you understand the risk and need it back download and double click the reg file which will re-enable Run program. (Run.reg)

The second reg File will disable the command again if you change your mind.

Use the file ONLY if Run Program has been disabled. Comes with no guaratees but we has tested it carefully.

DOWNLOAD zipped reg Files

If you are confident creating your own keys set :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\PowerPoint\Security

"RunPrograms"=dword:1 (You will get a warning but it will work)

OR set the same key value to 2 for no warning.
