Remove Shut Down Button, but not Hibernate

[Joshua Prowse]

I want to remove or disable the "Shut Down" option from the dialogue that
appears when a user chooses Start->Shut Down, but leave the "Hibernate" and
"Restart" options on that menu. I have seen the option of removing the
entire menu altogether, but I will still like to allow a user to Hibernate
the computer, just not shut it down.

Thanks.

Hi,

Are you using windows xp home or pro.

if you are using xp pro then u have to use the Local Security Policy. There is a setting which prevents a user from shutting down the system.

Yes, I'm using XP Pro. Thanks for the information. However, if I
select "Remove and prevent access to the Shutdown command" then I am no
longer able to Hibernate the computer. I want to be able to Hibernate,
and restart, just not use the "Shut Down" feature. I guess what I want
isn't possible with Windows.
