Do I have to login to shutdown?

When I start Windows 2000 the ctrl-alt-del prompt is the first thing to be displayed.

Once pressed I then have a dialog to enter my username and password. There is a button to allow you to shutdown the computer without logging in but it is disabled.

Does anyone know how to enable this button? It's a pain sometimes having to login to shutdown.

Cheers

DJ

Edit the local policy .. go to START > RUN > gpedit.msc and click OK
Navigate to the following section by pressing the plus beside the values
Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options (select this).
Scroll down to: Shutdown: Allow system to be shut down without having to log on and double click it. Change it to ENABLED.
