Hi, every time I install IE4.01 sp2 with the option Active Desktop it changes my privileges on the NT 4.0 Workstation. For instance, if I go to start->close system it only gives me the options for close and reset, but it doesn't give me the option to close the sesion and open a new one with another user.
Why is it? I have the Service PAck 6.0 on. I guess the problem comes because of what I need to install first, IE4.01 and then SP6.0 or else.

Thanks a lot

It's not an issue to be resolved by Service Packs or IE versions. The answer lies in your question. The Active Desktop option does a lot when selected. For instance it installs Quick launch, Channel Bar, user logoff option shift etc. Active Desktop shifts the "logoff current user..." option from the old Shut Down menu to the Start Menu just a little above the Shut Down option.

Press Start button and see if you can find "Log Off Jennifer" above Shut Down option. Got it?
