Can I remove Log off from the Start Menu?

Start Menu - then Shut Down -

Any way to remove : Switch User, Log Off AND Lock- Only need Shut Down & Restart.

In the left pane, click on User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Start Menu and Taskbar.
In the right pane, double click on Remove Logoff on the Start Menu (its a little way down, about halfway). Enable it in the new window which pops up and apply.

gpedit.msc

doent come up on my computer in the "search" or "run" box

Is there another way to get to "Group Policies"

 

[davehc]

Sorry. I guess you are using the "Home/Premium" release"? It is not available in that edition for some reason. You can try this, which I found, but it seems to require opening an account.

Thats OK, I'm fine with it the way it is. That does explain why I did have use of "Group Policies" in the Beta/RC and I don't now.

 

[davehc]

Yes. It is customisation for the sake of it really. Doesn't achieve much of great value.

But now my curiosity is aroused. I have changed the two reg entries to remove it and it did not work. (The Gpedit works of course) Query off to MS - lol

 

[sethm1]

Yes I have the Prem version also.

What am I looking for when I go to

Ill save you the trouble. It is a spreadsheet. Its value is that you can scroll down and, if you are comfortable with regist editing, you can read the paths for each function. I have tried the path for the topic under discussion and it did not work as it did in Gpedit. Sorry for the disappointment. Warning! This spreadsheet is enormous.
I cannot attache it as it is well outside the limits of such for this forum.
But you can grab it here if you are still interested

It is the Vista (last) one you need. The functions are the same as for Windows 7.
