Have you tried System Restore?

1.) Click Start
2.) Click Run
3.) Type %SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe
4.) Follow the on screen instructions while using common sense

Hi,

Run the edit on line 267

Restore "Turn Off Computer" - Start Menu
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Note: Do not reboot or logoff. Once the edit is merged, right click the
Notification Area/Task Manager/Processes. Highlight Explorer.exe, End
Process.

Leave the Task Manager open. Once the process has ended, choose File/New
Task and type in: Explorer.exe.
