Pretty much the problem is as the title states, there are no run or shutdown buttons in the start menu. When trying to access the run function by using windows button+r i get the message, "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on your computer. Please contact your system administrator." Moreover, it is box is checked when i go to start menu->properties->customize->advanced tab. I have reinstalled windows and this problem reoccured after I installed my programs, also have i have run spybot search and destroy, AVG 7.5, and adaware 6 and there were no problems found (and under user accounts there is only one account which i am using which supposedly has admin control). Hopefully there is someone that can help.
