Oh, you've been editing policies. The missing piece falls into place ... <g>.
If you edit policies, you can get explorer to do many things, some of which you won't like and others of which keep you from fixing what you don't like about what you did. My knowledge of 95 policies is sketchy at best. There are references around, including the Resource Kit from Microsoft.
However, unless you know EXACTLY what you're doing, my best advice is to avoid setting policies. If you're not administering a computer for someone else, all you can really do is inhibit your own abilities. Policies do indeed interact with other specifications, as I think you've found out first hand.
If you have a backup of the registry, my best advice is to restore it. SOMETHING you did caused this to happen, and the policies key is definitely the major suspect. I'd also suggest avoiding policies until you have thoroughly educated yourself on them. As I run NT, I can't help much there.
BTW, what log off prompt on the start menu? Can't recall ever seeing such a thing.
