I recently installed an application, and the installation went fine. However, when I cick on the start button\shutdown. I am missing an option that used to be there. I should see an option to standby, shutdown, or restart. The standby option is gone. Where in the registry is this value located and\or is there a way to repair this option without reinstalling the OS?

Thanks in advance

Verify that there is a "Flags" value and a "SuspendFlag" value. If these values do not exist, quit Registry Editor, and contact your hardware manufacturer for further assistance. If these values exist, verify that the data value of the "Flags" value is greater than or equal to 200. If it is, modify the data value of the "Flags" value by subtracting 200 from the current value. For example, if the value is currently 310, change it to 110. Change the data value of the "SuspendFlag" value to 0 if it is not already 0.

Restart your computer.
