Hi,
Is there any way to cancel a reboot (before it actually preforms)
after I've clicked shut-down -> restart ?

If you're quick you can open a command prompt and try typing:
shutdown /a

Scratch that, it appears you can only use the shutdown /a command during the
timeout period (i.e. "the computer will be shut down in XX seconds").

Tom,
Yes there is a way of doing it
On the GotDotNet site I wrote a program to stop it. You will have to compile it
though
Also, in code you can remove (revoke) the shutdown privilege
(SE_SHUTDOWN_PRIVILEGE). There is a policy to remove it too, but all it does is
change a registry key DWORD, which can easily be overridden.
The START | CMD | shutdown.exe -a only stops the RPC errors or if shutdown has
been invoked using it (shutdown.exe)
