How can I get Power Options back on the taskbar?

I want to show the Power Options icon next to the clock so I can quickly switch between profiles. However, when I go into the taskbar and start menu settings the option to add it back is greyed out. Any ideas what I can do?

Right click on desktop; Properties; Under Screen Saver tab; click on power on the bottom; under the Advance tab, that should do the trick?

If the tickboxes are greyed out, delete the entries in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

The menus don't work like they do in XP under Vista

Tried that, restarted, but it's still the same.

And just for the record, I haven't got any of the Asus AI Nap or anything like that installed.
