Start Menu Error

[polaray]

Windows will not let me keep restart for the button for shut down. I got Advanced System Care to change it somehow, but when I reboot it shows Shut down option again.

Right click on the Start orb > Properties > Start menu button > Power button action. Set it there and do not forget APPLY.

This is on win 7 home pre. A desktop...The registry entry for me did have 4 the value for restart that I wanted. So something else must be wrong.

I have already tried to set it from the start menu. It shows restart,I hit apply and check, and it still shows shut down.

One more question...how did I get a vertical bars on the taskbar when I open windows, instead of a shaded icon? How do I change this?

Thanks for the speedy replies...

I deleted the software distribution folder in windows folder and now my start menu show restart again. Not sure if it will stay or not.

I'm not a big fan of ASC and it's ilk. You may want to run the System File Checker and see if it finds any issues it can then repair.

Windows said sfc didn't find any issues...thanks for the suggestion though. If you guys can't fix it it can't be fixed.
