everything was good there, but I was left without the features I needed on my
account. Also I disabled the UAC option.
How can I get my shutdown/restart/run options back for the start menu, etc?
Hi MDavis,
I do not know, but this tutorial will provide you with desktop icons for those features until someone provides a solution for you. Look at the "Related Links" for all the other ones.
Shutdown shortcut
You might dig around in the Group policies for a setting on this.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
