Restore Log Off option to Shut Down Windows dialog box
The Log Off option is missing from the Shut Down Windows dialog box for one particular user that is defined on a stand-alone PC running Windows 2000 Professional. I would like to put it back.
I think the Log Off option went missing because at one time I had disabled the normal Shut Down and Log Off from the Start menu so that I could replace them with custom procedures. The need for the custom procedures has gone now. I did the registry modifications that I thought would put things back to normal. The normal Shut Down option on the Start menu is back. And I have been able to put a separate Log Off option on the Start menu. But I have not been able to restore the Log Off option to Shut Down Windows dialog box that is shown when Shut Down is selected from the Start menu.

Ummm Jatcan that only affects whether Log Off is listed on the Start Menu which Simon says that he has gotten that option back in place. This option does not affect the gpedit policy listing in the list box that is part of the Shut Down Window that pops-up when selecting "Shut Down" from the Start menu. I don't have "Display Logoff" checked and the Logoff option is listed in the "What do you want the computer to do" box of the Shut Down Window. :>)

CrazyOne's solution worked. Actually, Disable Logoff was already shown as "Not Configured", presumably because I had disabled Log Off a different way, via a registry edit I had learned about from somewhere. So I set Disable Logoff to "Enabled" and then back to "Not Configured". That did the trick. Thanks.
CrazyOne is also correct that jatcan's suggestion is not relevant.

click start button, settings, task bar and start menu, start menu settings (at bottom) re-checked "display logoff"
even if you re-enable it in gpedit it ain't gonna show until you re-check this puppy...
cheers.
