for convenience I've created my own desktop shortcuts for Shutdown and Restart, and they work quite nicely. try this...

right-click an empty area of your desktop, select New>Shortcut . Into the command line box copy&paste this exactly:

C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx 2

then hit Next button and name it Restart, then Finish. Double-clicking the icon should cause your computer to reboot. Let me know how it works out. good luck.
