Disabling Shutdown but Keeping Restart Available to Users
Hello,
I am looking for a way to use group policy or any other tool to disable the shutdown option for an end user but we want to allow users to restart their machines. The purpose of this is to discourage users from shutting down their computers so that we can provide support and push updates, etc. Currently, when we disable shutdown via group policy, restart capability is also disabled. Is there anyway to disable shutdown capability but allow restart capability? Thanks in advance for any help! Ryan Rushing University of Florida |

You could try putting AutoIt's Shutdown() command onto the startmenu.
