The "Shutdown" button that allows users to shutdown a system without logging in might be not available, if the default value in the registry is changed. This setting will be applied on Servers normally.
Click Start, Run.
Type regedit and click OK.
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system
Look for the "ShutdownWithoutLogon" key and change the value.
Value 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
If the above key is not available, you can create the same.
NOTE: It is recommended to backup the registry before dealing with it. Incorrect changes may cause severe damages. Visit the following web site to know about backing up/restoring Windows registry:
