Log-Off/ Shut-down Problem from second user.

[Guest]

Running XP pro and Office Pro on standalone machine (UK). Have set up a
second user with "Power User" status to access files & applications
previously run by primary user with Administrator rights. Now find I can't
log-off or shut down the M'c from this second user. Only way is through
Ctrl/Alt/Del. Have Imissed a setting somewhere, or what have I done wrong? I
can log-off/shut-down from the primary user. Many thanks,

Further to my original query, I find that I cannot log-off/shut-down from my
primary user either - I had to switch off the power supply to the computer in
the end! Maybe this changes the reason for the problem?
Thanks again.

Open Local Security Policy [secpol.msc] and go to local policies/user rights
to make sure that the users you want have the user right to shut down the
system. --- Steve
