Interesting. Expanding the CAB gave me 3 licences as well as the DLLs (the 3 you mentioned in the other thread). In the post on getting DVD playback with Vista Enterprise, it says that the DLLs should be installed before the licences. If that’s right (you may know better of course), that suggests the problem may not be a lack of licences, but that Windows doesn’t like the package for some other reason.

First, thanks for making this great resource – it’s been invaluable to me, and I think I’ve read almost every page in the blog. 🙂

Now the problem :p , which I hope is relevant to this thread.

I’ve spent the last 3 or so hours trying to figure out how to get Sleep (and Hibernate) to appear on the Start Menu submenu (the little popout one next to lock). Sleep (and hibernate, if I disable hybrid sleep) works fine. I can change the Shut Down button to Sleep in Power Options and it works fine too. I can press Ctrl-Alt-Del and Sleep is available on the bottom right menu. I even get the option if I change to the classic Start Menu. But it stubbornly refuses to appear in that little submenu.

I’ve tried changing various power settings in Local Group Policy and Local Security Policy, all of which do pretty much what they say, but don’t seem to affect this menu at all. It seems to be a problem that can occur in Vista too.

Any suggestions (or even solutions 🙂 ) gratefully received.

Sorry, I realise it wasn’t a solution for you. I found this thread via the blog, where it was linked within the context of disabling the default admin account, and thought it may be an easier way to do things in that case.

That other solution you found is good to know too. 🙂

You can also just disable the accounts you don’t want to show up in Users and Groups. Click on user properties, check ‘account is disabled’ and you’re good to go.

Obviously this only works if you’re trying to hide a user you don’t want, such as the default admin account.
