After removing Shutdown for security, you may find there never was a Logoff on some servers. There's ways to make it appear, and there's ways to make it disappear. If using the registry, you may have to adjust both settings, and on both HKLM and HKCU sides. The GP may actually fix it easier. You may have to end explorer.exe or logoff/logon. YMVV.

GPEdit.msc
Administrative Template: System
Policy Node: USER
Policy Path: Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar

Registry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
StartMenuLogoff(REG_DWORD) 1=hide

This Windows98SE regval might also be in effect.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
NoLogOff(REG_DWORD) 1=hide
