| | Hello mrje, If you mean "Shut down" as in shut down the computer, then that option was never available in Windows 7 Task Manager. Instead, you could click on the Start button and use the power button and/or arrow menu to shut down. Hope this helps, Shawn |

I could of sworn I shutdown or restarted the computer from the task manager before. I probably had a brain fart and forgot  . The reason why I asked the question is because my computer stalled on me, which it rarely does and I opened the task manager to restart the computer and I didn't see the option, which I could sworn I did before. Thank you again for your assistance Jeff |
