w2k wont shutdown only reboot?

[Daren Hopper]

I removed several ad programs. Virus scan comes up
empty. When I select "Shutdown", the computer will
only "Restart". I couldn't find shutdown.exe. I can't
see anything abnormal in registry, services or active
processes. Any Ideas?

Thanks in advanced!

Hi I am having the smae problem too. It start happening when my computer download autoupdate from microsoft website. I asked for help from micrsoft support too but support was asking me to remove the virus from my computer. I bought Mc@fee and it did remove few virus from my computer which Norton was unable to remove. I did change the value from 0 to 1 in registry but no luck. If you find any solution please let me know too if I find it I let you know too
Thanks in advance !!!!!

I would be interested in a response on this. I don't know if microsoft folks are looking at this after checking their bank account

Check your security policy under admin tools. Chances are youre not
running as admin and thus cannot shut the thing down.
