Miscommunication is the problem here. You posted asking about the
"Startup" menu, which is really a folder in the Start\Programs menu.
The Start menu reflects, *in_part*, the folder C:\Windows\Start. The
upper menu in the Start menu is comprised of shortcuts in the
above-mentioned folder. The "Programs" menu is a sub-folder in
C:\Windows\Start. The "Startup" folder is a sub-folder of
C:\Windows\Start\Programs.
When you start talking about the lower portion of the Start menu, those
derive from various places. The "Log Off [username}" menu option is
there by default. To keep it from being shown, you need to employ a
Registry hack. If it was not there previously, but is there now, someone
must have undone the hack. You fix it by changing the value named
"NoLogOff" from 0 to 1 in:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Note: If the value doesn't exist, create it. It's a DWord..
If you are not familiar with the Registry, find someone who is, or email
me for a REG file to do it for you.
