hi
in vista's start menu, the arrow beside the lock only gives 3 options:
switch user, log off and lock. why is there no shut down or sleep/hibernate
option here? i need to log off to reach a shut down option.
can i get a shut down option to appear when i click on the arrow?
Also there is no power off button?
I do not have the (change power saving settings options) in the Power
options screen?

any ideas?
Brett

Start | Move your mouse over to the right hand arrow for additional options.

I thought he wrote that he only had 3 options in there?

You're right, of course. I mis-interpreted the post. (-:
