A workaround
Jun 7, 2005 7:11AM PDT

to start:

Want to shut down Windows with one click?

Create a shortcut to the Shut Down command by following these simple steps.

First, click on an empty area of your Desktop and choose "New," then "Shortcut".

In the Command Line, enter the following exactly:

C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE USER.EXE,EXITWINDOWS

and click the Next button.

Give the shortcut a name (mine is ShutDownWin) and click Finish.

After a moment, a new icon will appear on the Desktop with the Windows logo.

Click it to shut down Windows whenever you like.
