Missing Shutdown button

[Indie]

G'day all... After finally removing some trojan's off my system I have
noticed that my "shutdown" option is missing from my XP start menu - is
there a way to recover it.

It's also missing from Task Manager - "shutdown" is disabled and the only
way for my system to shutdown is when I logoff and select "shutdown" from
the User sign-in prompt.

TIA:Thanking In Advance

The Start Menu has Turn Off Computer and Log Off.

Navigate to:

Disable and remove the Turn Off Computer button
&
Remove and prevent access to the Shut Down command

[[Prevents users from shutting down or restarting Windows.

This setting removes the Shut Down option from the Start menu and disables
the Shut Down button on the Windows Security dialog box, which appears when
you press CTRL+ALT+DEL.

This setting prevents users from using the Windows user interface to shut
down the system, although it does not prevent them from running programs
that shut down Windows.

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Shut Down menu
option appears, and the Shut Down button is enabled.

Note: It is a requirement for third-party applications with Windows 2000 or
later certification to adhere to this setting. ]]

Thx Wes... It worked as far as it has re-enabled the "shutdown" in Task
Manager. The "turn off computer" [u may be right instead of "shutdown"
wording] hasn't re-appeared in the Start Menu, so will reboot to see if it
does.
