Xp Shutdown Button Removal

Website Review   by:blackbeard    
ª
 
I get fed up of people shutting down the computer when I leave something running, it drives me mad!

Therefore I decided to prevent people from shutting down the PC I simply decided to remove the shut down button all together!

Here is how you do it.

-Start
-Run
- type regedit
-This will bring you up a window with all the registry files
-Navigate to - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft
\Win dows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
-Right click
-Create new DWORD
-Call it NOCLOSE
-Set the data value at 1

This will then disable the shut down button. For it to take effect log off/restart your computer and it will disapear from the start menu.

To see how to disable the shut down button from the accounts screen see my other summary-
(soon to be added)

To shutdown you will either have to log off and use the shut down button on the accounts screen or use the shutdown -s option.

To do this -

-Start
-Run
- type shutdown -s (shutdown)
- type shutdown -r (restart)

To remove this option and restore it back to normal (so you can use the shutdown button again) just delete the NOCLOSE option you just created

I don't take any responsibility for harm done to your computer by doing this...
