My power button has gone missing

Recently, my power button (when you click on Start) has gone walk-about. I
can now only turn off my PC by pushing the actually power button on the case.
The only options it gives me are switch user, log off or lock. How can i fix
this??
I am using Vista Home Premium

You'll have better luck asking a Vista question in a Vista group,
rather then in this .NET programming group:

To find the group you need:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...D-2224A4FEB3EA

Then open your language in the TreeView on the left, scroll down to
"Windows", open and scroll down to "Windows Vista", and
select a group from that category.
