Does XP somehow think he's using 'Remote Desktop'? Have him try CTRL+ALT+END

The Shutdown command is not available on the Start menu to shut down,
restart, or place a remote computer in a sleep state (for example, standby
or hibernation) when you are using Remote Desktop. To shut down a remote
computer when you are using Remote Desktop, press CTRL+ALT+END, and then
click Shutdown. Or, use the shutdown command at a command prompt. For
additional information about the shutdown command, type shutdown /? at a
command prompt.
