"turn off" button missing from logon window
Hi,
A "turn off" button is supposed to be at the left lower corn of "logon" screen after you boot your PC or logoff from one user, but it is not there anymore on my win XP. This "turn off" button allows me to turn off the PC directly instead of logon to an user, then select "start" button to turn it off, what had happened? Thx. |

Look at the very bottom left corner of the monitor. Desmond. |

Look at the very bottom left corner of the monitor. Desmond. It is not there and that is why I am asking the question. It was there before, and I had seen it and used it for quite long time, then it disappeared. |

Hi wenmang Click Start | Run and type: secpol.msc OK Expand Local Policies and click on Security Options. In the right-hand pane, look for the entry: "Shutdown: Allow system to be shut down without having to log on" and Enable it. Hope this helps :-) -- Nightowl |

secpol.msc does not exist on Windows XP Home.
These two items do not come with XP Home edition: gpedit.msc = Group Policy secpol.msc = Local Security Settings The Remove and prevent access to the Shut Down command Policy or NoClose set to 1 in the registry disables Shut Down in Task Manager, Start menu and Windows Security dialog. On the Task Manager Menu Bar, there a File, Options, View, Shut Down and Help. The Shut Down menu contains: * Stand By * Hibernate * Turn Off * Restart * Log Off (User Name) * Switch User Some of the above items may be unavailable (grayed out) depending on Group Policies, et cetera. For example. 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.
