Yes you can do this by editing the registry :

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Shutdown]
@="Shutdo&wn"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Shutdown\command]
@="RUNDLL SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx 1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Reboot]
@="Reboo&t"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Reboot\command]
@="RUNDLL SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx 2"

Copy and paste the above in notepad and save as something.reg. Double click on the file to import it in the registry and you'll have a Shutdown and Reboot menu on the context menu of My Computer.

PS : Works on Windows ME as I have just tested it but should work also with other OSes I think.
