Password protect shutdown 1

[ls62]

Hi,

Is there some way to password protect the shutdown function on a win nt pc? I have some users who occasionally use our winnt server and sometimes shut it down when they are done and it shouldn't be.

Thanks.

You can customize your server so it does not show the shutdown button

HKEY_Current_User / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Policies

You can then add DWORD values set to 1 in the appropriate keys
To re-enable them, either delete the key or set the value to 0

NoClose = Computer Shutdown

Then anyone that needs to shutdown, all they have to do is hit Control+Alt+DEL and hit shutdown from there.
