Now that's really a very annoying and stupid bug in Windows Vista. Following are the steps to re-create it:
1. Right-click on Taskbar and select "Properties".
2. Goto "Start Menu" tab and select "Classic Start menu".
3. Click on "Customize" button and make sure "Display Log off" option is enabled. Now apply it.
Now click on Start button and select "Log off". Oops, It didn't ask for confirmation.
In earlier versions of windows, it used to confirm the action. It was quite useful. Lots of time people can accidentally click on "Log off" but since it asks for confirmation, we can simply click on "No" button.
But in Vista, it doesn't confirm and logs out you from Windows. if you clicked on it by mistake then you'll loose all your opened documents (if not saved), you'll loose all your opened websites in browser.
Its really a stupid bug and I can't understand why the developers disabled it?

Windows Server 2008 has the same issue, except that "Log Off" is displayed by default. I was Googling to see if there was an option or registry hack to turn it back on.

^^ There is no solution for it and since they have removed Classic startmenu from Windows 7, this bug will not appear in 7.

Right, there is now a ShutDown button which works without confirmation, too ^^

this is very disappointed news,,,, I didn't use Start Menu in my who life.... so this is very difficult for me to use Start Menu rather than Classic Start Menu. I am requesting Microsoft to please include the Classic Start Menu in Windows 7.
