shutting down

[david z]

When I tried to turn off my PC, I click Start but all I get is Log off and
nothing else. So I have to log off then click Shut down. How do I get it to
shut it down from the Start menu?

Sounds like you don't have the proper authority level in your account.

I think you are using the Classic Start Menu view!
Try this:
Right click on the Start and select properties from the list. On the Taskbar
and Start menu click Start Menu Tab and select this Radi Button:
(*) Start menu click [Apply..] then [OK], Hit F5 do you get the Turn Off
Computer option?

Re: shutting down

I Use XP and Created a Shutdown Quicklaunch/Desktop Icon..

Create a "Shutdown.bat" file containing...
C:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t 0 -c "User
ShutDown" -d up:2:2
then Create a shortcut on your desktop to it, Changing the
Icon to what you will recognise as shutdown.

See the info on Shutdown.exe in XX Help

Hope its helpful.
