Log Off in Start Menu

G

Guest

I'm running Windows XP Professional. I'm having problems figuring out how to
get a log off button to appear in the classic start up menu. It does appear
when I use the normal start up menu however, I can not find an option in
customize that allows this to happen in the classic menu. Any suggestions?

To add or remove the Log Off item on a computer, click Start, click
Settings, click Taskbar and Start Menu, click the Start Menu Options tab,
and then, in the Start Menu Settings box, click Display Logoff.

If Logoff is not an available option...

TweakUI installed???

TweakUI
[+] Explorer
Allow Logoff on Start Menu

Allow Logoff on Start Menu
[[This allows displaying the Log off option from the Start Menu.]]

Also Group Policy (gpedit.msc).

See "Remove Logoff" in User Configuration\Administrative
Templates\System\Logon/Logoff

and

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Ctrl+Alt+Del Options\
Remove Logoff

and

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Sart Menu and Taskbar\
Remove Logoff on the Start Menu

Also check the settings in these two registry keys...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer
Value Name: NoLogOff
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (1 = no log off, 0 = show log off)
