Task manager, toolbar

[Guest]

A friend of mine is missing the "Shutdown" option on the task manager,
toolbar. It only shows... File, Options, View and Help. Is there any way to
add "Shutdown" ?? (It makes it easy to Hibernate.)
Also, is there any way to change what comes up... when you press
Ctrl+Alt+Del ?? My Pc, pops up, Task manager... hers pops up the "Windows
Security" dialog box. We are both running XP PRO, with the same service packs.

NoClose removes access to Stand By, Hibernate, Turn Off, Restart and Log
Off (User Name) from the Shut Down menu in Task Manager, but leaves the
menu.

If XP Pro use Group Policy...
[[Prevents users from shutting down or restarting Windows. This setting
removes the Shut Down option from the Start menu and disables the Shut Down
button on the Windows Security dialog box, which appears when you press
CTRL+ALT+DEL. This setting prevents users from using the Windows user
interface to shut down the system, although it does not prevent them from
running programs that shut down Windows. If you disable this setting or do
not configure it, the Shut Down menu option appears, and the Shut Down
button is enabled. Note: It is a requirement for third-party applications
with Windows 2000 or later certification to adhere to this setting.]]

If not Pro...
Open the Registry Editor...
Start | Run | Type: regedit | Click OK |
Navigate to...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Set NoClose to 0.

From WTC...
If using Classic Logon the Task Manager will not show the Shut Down menu.

To verify what type of Logon you are using, go to the Control Panel | User
Accounts | Change the way users log on or off. If the Welcome Screen is not
checked then you are using the Classic Logon, there for no Shut down menu
will not be present for the Task Manager.
----

Ctrl + Alt + Delete opens the Windows Security window if the Welcome screen
is turned off.

Turn on the Welcome screen...
1. In Control Panel, click User Accounts.
2. Click Change the way users log on or off.
3. Click to select the Use the welcome screen for fast and easy logon check
box.
4. Click OK.

Thank you Wesley !
It took awhile to find the right cause of my problem... but it's working now
!!!
the tip...
"Using CTRL+ALT+DEL Key Combination to Open Windows Security Opens Task
Manager
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;281980"
got me pointed in the right direction. It turned out that her pc was setup
as belonging to a domain. the Welcome screen was NOT even an option, until I
removed the affiliation.
Thanks again

Glad you got it worked out, Rick.

Of course that link HAD to be the last item. ;-)
