My Shutdown menu is missing?, Part 2
Category: Windows

Recall
yesterday's Visitor Feedback question which dealt with a disappearing
Shutdown menu:
"
I'm running Windows 2000 Pro. When I try to shut down the machine by
clicking on Start -> Shutdown, I no longer have the option to Shutdown,
Restart, or Hibernate! In fact, the machine automatically does a restart,
offering *no* choices when Start -> Shutdown is clicked... "
There were many good suggestions sent in from the Gazette Readers.
Since I've never experienced this problem before, I can only guess at the
most probable answers, starting with Pattie W.'s suggestion:
" I would check the registry. I use
MMC (Microsoft Management Console) to apply a local Group Policy in
order to secure Windows 2000 workstations at the high school where I am a
network administrator.
Under User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Start Menu & Taskbar,
there is a policy to 'Disable and remove the Shut
Down command.'
I don't see how it could have gotten enabled without him knowing, but it's a
thought. "
Timothy M. suggested Tweak UI:
" If your computer only restarts when you try to shut down, you need to
change your
TweakUI settings. If you're using TweakUI, look on the IE tab and make
sure there's a check mark for Allow Logoff.
"
Ron C. suggested that
the shutdown
problem might be caused by the ACPI feature in Windows 2000.
Thanks to all who wrote in with their suggestions. |
