User Accounts, Switch User, Hibernate, Sleep, Restart

My two year old played with my laptop and now the when I use the arrow next
to the shut down option it only displays switch user, log off and lock. I
think that I am missing the Hibernate, Sleep, and Restart option from this
menu. The Switch user option does not work. I have also noticed that when I
turn the computer on it used to display both mine and my husband's user
accounts. Now it only displays one or the other and has a switch user button
below it. When I click on the switch user button it displays an icon with no
picture and says "other user" below it. If I click on it than I have to enter
my entire user id and password in order to log in.

I know some about Vista and I can't find any user configuration that would
help. I have also tried the config hibernate on on the command prompt that
was suggested in the online community.
I know that there must be a way to fix this. Please help!

I try it but this method won't work for me.

When I press Ctrl+Alt+Del, then click on the small arrow button on the
bottom right corner, the shutdown option are displayd (hibernate, restart,
shutdown).

However, if I click on the small on the start menu, there is only logoff,
switch user and lock.

same thing here I have teh options when I hit control alt delete but
do not have the options when I open up the start menu
