Adds the Log Off username item to the Start menu and prevents users from removing it.
Also, the system ignores the setting in the Display Logoff box on the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box. As a result, users cannot remove the Log Off user-name item while this policy is in effect.
This entry stores the setting of the Add Logoff to the Start Menu Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the Add Logoff to the Start Menu policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 0.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 (or not in registry) | The policy is disabled or not configured. Users can use the Display Logoff item to add and remove the Log Off username item. |
| 1 | The Log Off username item appears in the Start menu and users cannot remove it. |
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Add Logoff to the Start Menu policy (User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\Start Menu & Taskbar).
Note
The Disable Logoff on the Start Menu policy takes precedence over the Add Logoff to the Start Menu policy. That is, when the value of StartMenuLogoff is 1, the system removes the Logoff username item from the Start menu and ignores the ForceStartMenuLogoff entry.
Tip
To add or remove the Log Off username item on a computer, click Start, click Settings, click Taskbar & Start Menu, click the Advanced tab and, in the Start Menu Settings box, click Display Logoff.
