Wouldn't it be a matter of reversing the removal instructions?

On a different note,  any idea on how to add the Disconnect option to
the start menu?  There are tons of articles on how to remove it, but
nothing to add it.

You can put a new icon called "Log Off" using the same icon as the
default Windows button icon and have it associated with a script on the
start menu, but you can't put it in the same location as Logoff is right
now?  Is it a start menu icon re-ordering issue?

 

EzyWin will let you put what you want wherever you want on the start
menu.

        How is it different than the logoff.exe that's already part of
Windows 2003?  I can put together a script,  I just can't replace/modify
the current 2003 logoff button.. I can hide it, but can't pin a new one
to the menu.

        You are confused... on that page is a file called Logoff.zip  it
is an executable that runs the logoff process.  You can run this file in
your script.

                If you did want an icon solution see the logoff.zip at

                        I will pipe in since Joe and I are working on
the same project. That was our next step. However, the customer wants
the logoff and disconnect (not shutdown in this case) icons to appear
exactly as the do with the standard Start Menu items. After doing some
research, we have not found a way to hack the existing icons, or, put
replacement icons in the same place. When you delve into the system
controlled portion of the Start Menu you end up going down a rabbit hole
in which nothing is at it seems anymore !!

                        Joe,

                         

                        Why don't you remove Logoff and Shutdown from
the start menu, then replace them with shortcuts to a script(s) that
handles your app then shuts the machine down or logs the user off?

                                It a published desktop  Also, it is a
script that is running,  the problem is when users select logoff Windows
closes the script before it closes the application it launches.  I need
windows to close the application first and wait for the script to
complete.

                                Publish a wrapper script that starts
your app, then closes it. That way, Windows is terminating your wrapper
script.

                                Hello,

                                 

                                Does anyone know how to change the
logoff process?  It seems that W2k3 terminates the applications then
runs the logoff script.  I need to run a logoff script first in order to
shutdown an application in the proper order.  If I let W2k3 terminate
the application, it shutdown incorrectly.

                                 

                                Any ideas?

                                 

                                Joe
