Shutdown & Restart Buttons Missing

Hi,

recently my shutdown and restart buttons disappeared. I have done numerous
spyware scans and virus checks, and it all comes up clear. I have modified
the group policies several times with still no success. I have resorted to
making some registry changes, but none of those have worked thus far.

I need help!

Thankyou in advance!
 
Hi Dave!

Thanks for the reply, but I have tried both of those options. Anything else?

The 1st solution you gave me wasn't even in the registry, so that means it
was never enabled/created.

The second solution you gave is set to "not configured". Which should mean
it is disabled by default. To make sure I have set this to disabled and
re-started the pc before but it still didn't fix my problem.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

More than likely one of these two.

Try deleting them both then restart for effect. Also what happens if you
logon as a new user? (create a new account in 'Users and Passwords').

Deleting them both? Sorry I don't understand :)

There is about 5 users and all of them have the shutdown and restart buttons
missing, the administrator account is also included in this!

But I will create a new user and see what happens. thanks!

Delete the Reg_Dword values 'NoClose'

found at;

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
and
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Then restart for effect.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for that last post! It did just the trick!!!

Deleting the Reg_Dword values 'NoClose' from
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer fixed it!!

Weirdly enough the second registry entry didnt exist (the NoClose
entry)....but it doesnt matter, the 1st one works!

Thanks a million!! Thought I was never going to get to the bottom of it!

Cheers! :D

Matt
