I have Vista Business and Home Premium.  Both OS let me set up my account
without problems. However after a short time (hours) after a restart my
shutdown/restart options in the start menu were gone (all I had was the lock
which could be expanded to logoff/switch user options), I could not get the
run command item to appear in the start menu, task manager was disabled by
the administrator, etc.  I enabled the built-in administrator's account and
everything was good there, but I was left without the features I needed on my
account.  Also I disabled the UAC option.

How can I get my shutdown/restart/run options back for the start menu, etc?

If you have UAC (User Account Control) disabled, try enabling this option.
Disabling UAC in Windows Vista can restrict your user accounts in undesired
ways. If your user is a standard account, try switching it to an
adminitrators account. This can also effect the way Windows Vista restricts
some things.
