For this I just read a thread about StartMenu Logoff.

This is just a registry setting that says if you want to show the logoff on the Start Menu. If it keeps coming back it's probably being restored by some other product such as an Anti-Virus suite or tools like Spybot's Tea Timer that monitors registry changes and puts them back or prevents them.

You can safely add this to your ignored items in the program if you like or review your other security programs to determine which one is stopping the change or is putting it back.
