The shutdown option is missing from my Start Menu. I only have a log off
option. How do I get "shutdown" back?
 
Hi Matt,

1. Open Registry Editor by typing Regedit.exe in the Start, Run dialog.

2. Navigate to the following locations:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
-and-
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

3. In the right-pane, double-click the value NoClose and set it to 0.

4. Restart Windows for the changes to take effect.

More Information:

Policy Settings for the Start Menu in Windows XP:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q292504

Policy: Disable and remove the Turn Off Computer button
Description: Removes the "Turn Off Computer" button from the Start Menu and
prevents shutting down Windows using the standard shutdown user interface.
Registry Value: "NoClose"
