Hi

I have noticed that one of my network users (she do have a laptop) has got
no shutdown option from the Start button. if you click on start - you can
only choose Logg Off or Disconnect but NO sthut down or even restart
obviously. She got win xp pro just like the rest.

What can i do to fix this?Thanks for you help
 
How about standby or hibernate?
A desktop shortcut with the following entry might be a workaround.
%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 0
 
Thanks

Hello,
is this computer in a network with a domain? This might have ben caused
by a local or a domain policy.
Do an RSOP.msc from the start - run dialogue and check :
User Settings\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Remove
and prevent access to the Shut Down command
If you run gpedit.msc on that client you might want to disable this
policy to force the new entry beeing applied to the registry.

Check the registry at:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

DWORD: NoClose

Set the value to 0
