What options DO you have? Turn Off? Use that. If that's not there, try
this:

Open regedit (Start, Run, type regedit and click OK) and navigate to the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Policies\Explorer subkey.

If you have a NoClose value there, it should be set to 0 (zero). If
it's set to 1, the Shutdown button will not show.

You can also initiate shutdown by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del.
