windows XP problem
Hey guys,
wondering if this has ever happened to you... The "SHUT DOWN" button in the START menu of my Win XP Pro, is all of a sudden GONE!?!? It's just not there anymore, at all. The LOG OFF button still is, but absolutely no SHUT DOWN. Anyone heard of this happening? I can't find info aobut it on the net. Thanks. CTRL-ALT-DEL time for me!

Try this:
hit windows key + R to bring up the Run... window. Type in cmd That brings up command prompt Type in sfc /scannow This scans your computer for corrupted files. You may need your winXP CD handy. Does that fix things? |

A similar thing happened to me a while ago, I don't remember it exactly though. But it was because of a virus. I would scan your system and make sure it's free of virii/spyware.
It could very well be a corrupted file, too. |

Hey guys
No virii, no spyware, no corrupt files. After I rebooted, my SHUT DOWN is now back. Strangely enough, I think this might have happened to my WinXP a while back. It fixed itself. When computers fix their own problems, I get nervous....
