On Vista, there's no power button in the Start menu, it's never been there, but there's one on my mum's laptop which is exactly the same.

Where will the option be to turn it back on? I'm bored with having to log out and then close down every night

In the Start menu search box type Power Options, then click on Change Plan Settings on the power plan you use.

Go to Advanced Power Settings and click on Power buttons and lids and then Start menu and power buttons, select the shutdown option.

The button isn't there at all, I've changed that option, but it did nothing
