How do I add back the option "Display Logoff" to the Advanced Task

[Guest]

Well I was going to finish in the title...but how do you add "Display Logoff"
check box back to the Advanced properties menu in the Taskbar/Start Menu
properties? I know how you can use Group Policies to add the button to the
Start Menu itself but I want to entire option back. I can only find
information on how to take it away and I have tried enabling the group policy
setting that removes it and then disabling the policy to see if it puts it
back but that does not work either. I am sure there must be a registry
setting somewhere right? Any help? anyone?

0 = Logoff on Start Menu
1 = No Logoff on Start Menu

Thanks but that didn't even work to put it on the start menu. But that is not
what I am trying to do either. I can get the Logoff button on the start menu
through group policies. That is no problem. I want the option in the
Taskbar/Start Menu Advanced properties to show up. Where you can choose the
check box to enable or disable the Logoff button. The option is not there in
the Advanced properties.
