Description:
Log off button ends a user session at the computer. For personal computers, you can log out simply by exiting applications and turning the machine off. On larger computers and networks, where you share computer resources with other users, there is generally an operating system command that lets you log off. You can log off from currently logged in user account and switch to other user account without being the necessary to restart the machine. Log off is not shown by default, but with this registry setting you can display it in the start menu list. For this, go to start > run, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a dword value startmenulogoff, if this value does not exist. Now, right-click and modify the value to 1 which can add log off item in the start menu. However, if you want to remove the option, change the value to 0 or delete the value startmenulogoff. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
