No "Turn Off Computer" Option on XP Login Screen

I sent thisto the wrong thread, here it goes again!

When I see my Windows XP (Home Edition) Login Screen I do not see the option
to Turn off "Computer Name" across the lower left portion of the screen.

Can anyone assist?

(I sent this to Windows Media by mistake, be kind I am a newbie.

The key is he

1. Copy between the lines
2. Paste into Notepad
3. Save-as ShowShutdownButton.reg (or any name + .reg)
4. Double-click or right-click and merge into the Registry

---------------------------------------------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon]
"ShutdownWithoutLogon"="1"

Make sure you only have two lines:
------------------------------------------------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE . . .
"ShutdownWithoutLogon"="1"

I will try this tonight. But I wanted to tell you that I copied it to a
Notepad for later.
Thanks and I will get back to you (pass or fail)!

ju.c,

I finally found the proper path in the Registery and found the actual key to
set to '1'.
Why there is reference to Windows NT is beyond me, was this registery a 'cut
and paste' effort from an NT operating system?

Anyway, here was my path:

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Win dows NT\
CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ShutdownWithoutLogon

I set the string from '0' to '1' and I have my Turn Off Computer option back
in the Windows XP logon screen.

You did help me. You got me to look further within the registery to find
the proper setting. Thank you for your efforts on my behalf.

(Now I would like to know from MS why that value would ever change, but I
know they aren't talking unless you pay them!)

I can't see the rest of the thread, but have you checked the setting under
the Local Security Settings? Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Local
Security Policy, Local Policies, Security Options.

Change the Setting for "Shutdown: Allow system to be shut down without
having to log on" to Enabled.
