Help...
When I enter Start, I cannot see "Shut Down"?
ie:
Click Start, click Shut Down, and then, in the drop-down list, click Shut
down.
thanks Marc.

Are you running XP? XP doesn't have a 'drop down list'. It has three buttons
Standby, Turn off and Restart.

Hi Cass,
If you disable the Welcome screen, it changes to the dropdown. I'm =
wondering if Marc was messing with one of the policy editors. Can't =
think of any other way he might have done this.

Good call - I'd forgotten about that. Well if they will go meddlin' with
things they don't understand, they have to expect things to go the way of
the pear...
