Gentlemen,
Having several machines with XP Pro SP2, I am use to see the menu choice
"Shut Down" at the top line of the Task Manager.
I have a new laptop which obviously is been configure with new programs. I
remember seen the above mentioned Shut Down choice, which I use a couple of
times earlier. Latter, I noticed that such menu choice is missing. Due to my
clumsiness and unfamiliarity with the native setup of this machine
(IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T60p) I had to reformat and reinstall twice,
successfully.
But the Shut Down choice remains missing.
I used a reset hack for the Task manager, unsuccessfully.
The only think that I find different in the registry, comparing to other
machines, is key related to the MSNToolbar, which has an entry named
"SearchStrings", type "reg_multi_SZ", Data "Task Manager Shut Down"
This is the only machine with the MSN Toolbar. I exported the key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSN Toolbar]
"SearchStrings"=hex(7): followed by a bunch of binaries.
I can not really see a problem, but knowledge is limited in this area.
If requested, I will be happy to send the complete text file, which is about
half a page.
Any expert assistance will be appreciated.
Happy new year and cheers
