Does anyone else have issues with the Log Off button in the start menu not having a confirmation box? I cannot find any group policy to force it to confirm logging off either.

There is no confirmation anymore - it was a pointless waste of time for a user to select to logoff or shutdown an XP system then then be asked again what they want to do. You are now assumed to be competent and that when you click to shutdown that is what you want to do , since you have to actively select one button then from a menu.
Am I the only one just getting so frustrated with people complaining about Vista nanny'ing them with UAC etc and then they complain that they do not have to confirm an action they selected themselves?

Why do you need double confirmation when you want to shutdown or logoff or any of the other choices you're presented with?
You click on Start, you hover over the little arrow and a menu appears asking what you want to do.
I bet you're one of those dolts that switches the lights off in a room, then switches them back on again, just to make they were off. Right?

Many people want "selective" confirmations. They we would have thousands of posts here as how to configure *that* function!

Absolutely correct. It is yes or no, 0 and 1, On or Off, it's about options for people to select.

Should have read - It is NOT yes or no... "xfile"

Are you kidding? I'm so sick and tired of older versions of Windows asking "Are you sure?" every time I click something that I was absolutely delighted to see this nag gone. After all, it's not like it's possible to click "Log Off" accidentally.

Well...., I don't think that assumption goes quite far enough, but it is an improvement, to be sure.

Isn't irony a funny thing?

I daresay that the OP is perfectly entitled to use whatever name he likes, so long as he's not trying to impersonate anyone else. As for being mistaken for another "Justin," so what? The only people who have an imaginary beef with that "Justin" are trolls whose opinions don't carry any significant weight.

etc. by mistake. Lord only knows how many times I had wanted to put a computer (PC or MAC) to sleep and because maybe my attention was slightly pulled away I hit close or something. It takes 2 seconds to hit that second menu for what you want, if having to waste those 2 seconds is a problem then someone really needs to slow down their life a bit.
