turn off button on login screen

[niknik1971]

This is not a problem as such, but when I turn my computer on and when I am
at the login screen the "turn off" is not showing at the bottom left of the
screen.

Does any one know why it is not there.

Any help or information would be great.

Technically it should be there! Are you using, or has anyone used, tweaking
programs? I could find no option anywhere nor help file relating to the
issue.

Ramesh:

Worked a treat. Thanks a lot.

I don't suppose you know how or why the turn off computer reg entry changed
by the way (I do not have any tweaking software on my computer).

If the registry option that Ramesh points you too is not there you may
find it here:

Navigate to the following key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system

then locate "shutdownwithoutlogon" in the right-hand pane and change the
value to 1.

You're welcome! NIK. No idea why the setting has changed.
