Hello Micky,

You might see if you may be able to add the shutdown options back using the tutorial below.

Brink, you provide too many good answers. The forum software is always reminding me to spread a little rep. around before giving you any more.

I have tried the 1st and 2nd option and neither seem to work!

Well, he didn't use those methods to remove it then.

Since it has just happened, you could also do a system restore using a restore point (if available) dated before this happened to undo it.

Hi
I dont even know when he has done it. what i might do is create another user account and see if the shut down button is on that and delete the other one.

It's worth a try to see.

I will do it tomorro at some point and i will let you know if it works

Ok.

If you like, you might be able to use the shut down shortcut below for now until we can get this sorted.
