Is this for the Start Menu or the Shutdown Dialog??? The keys have been added to both HKLM and HKCU, the server has been restarted and nothing on the Start Menu. The link you sent for the GPO is for the Shutdown Dialog box.. I would like a disconnect button next to the Logoff button on the Start Menu for a Windows 2003 TS server running the XP style windows.

Note these registry settings could be either per user or per machine settings. I've done it before on my server so I know it works. Just because you set it back under the HKLM key doesn't mean that it is set back that way in the users profile. JK Steve Greenberg < wrote: Uh-oh Jim! On the surface that makes you the Professor, but, these settings only remove the disconnect option, they do not actually put the disconnect option on the Start Menu when you "undo" the settings. This might make you Gilligan! We will have to discuss it in more detail at BriForum. I think your response to "Ginger or Mary Ann" could elevate you back up !!

No. It's like the Gilligan's Island episode where the crew thinks that a map that has washed up onto shore gives directions on how to get off the island. After unsuccessful attempts to leave the island via the map, the Professor realizes that the people who made this map read from right to left, and so in fact it is a map on how to get ON TO the island. They proved you simply can't reverse the directions to get the opposite result. Exact same thing here.
