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.
