No option to shutdown

[rachey_18]

Hi, I am running Vista home premium. when i go to the arrow to shutdown, i
only have 3 options, switch user, log off or lock, i dont have shutdown,
hibernate, sleep etc. Why is this? i am the administrator for this computer -
there is another user with a separate account and there shutdown options are
fine.
Does anyone know how to solve this or what to do?
thanks

those options are these but you need to move your mouse over just a little
to the little arrow on the bar. that should show you restart, power off,
etc. If you wish to do this from an icon on the desktop, its super easy to
create one.

Just make a shortcut ... the executable is shutdown.exe and the parameters
to give it are as follows:
-r (does a restart) -p (does power off) -l (logoff)
there are many others , just type shutdown ? for all of them. Hope this
helps.
