Shutdown & Restart Buttons Missing

[Guest Matt]

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!

More than likely one of these two.

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!

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!

Re: Shutdown & Restart Buttons Missing

 

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
