Shutdown from Terminal Service connection

[Guest]

Hi

When connecting to WinXP via Terminal Service, the Shutdown option is
missing from the Start menu. It is instead replaced by Disconnect.

Is there a way to force the Shutdown option back?

Regards

You can open a command prompt or run command and use the shutdown command

Shutdown -r Reboots in 30 seconds
Shutdown -s Shuts down in 30 seconds

you can adjust the time before shutdown or reboot by adding the -t argument

ie: shutdown -r -t 10
Reboots after 10 seconds

Bring up the task manager, then under the shutdown menu choose what you
want.
Or start, run, type in: %windir%\System32\SHUTDOWN.exe -s -t 05, hit enter.

Thanks, but I tried that one. The users does, for some reason, not have
rights to do this.

Anyway, it is still possible to shutdown via Start -> Settings -> Windows
Security, but since the regular users of the computers in question are not
experts (well, far from it actually), I would prefer if Shutdown was in the
usual place in order to avoid confusion.

In a remote desktop session it can't be put in the "normal" place. The users
have to learn to use it like it is. Either use windows security or right
click task bar, task manager and use the shutdown menu.

As far as I know, there is no way to restore this option to the start menu.
I have this same problem with a few of my users. For some of them I just
made a shortcut with the commands I posted earlier and placed them above
programs on the start menu.

Do you know of any reason why this is so?

Anyway, thanks for the help.

I guess if you look at it from the perspective of what it was built
for...administrators connection to client machines...the administrator would
know about the shutdown command, where if a "normal" user were using the
connection, would you really want them remotely rebooting and shutting down
a machine?
