how can i remove the shutdown from the startmenu (both classic and xp

users to shut down the computer from the welcome screen.

Go to Start/Run, and type secpol.msc double click "Shut down the system" at
Security Settings/Local Policies/User Rights Assignment
Remove "Users" group

edit the registry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system]
"shutdownwithoutlogon"=dword:00000001

Go to Start/Run, and type secpol.msc double click "Shut down the system" at
Security Settings/Local Policies/User Rights Assignment
Remove "Users" group

edit the registry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system]
"shutdownwithoutlogon"=dword:00000001

But that does not remove it from the start menu.

In XP Pro, start/run, type GPEDIT.MSC

go to :

User Config/admin templates/Start Menu../

"Remove Logoff on the start menu."

Go to Start/Run, and type secpol.msc double click "Shut down the system"
at
Security Settings/Local Policies/User Rights Assignment
Remove "Users" group

edit the registry

"shutdownwithoutlogon"=dword:00000001

But that does not remove it from the start menu.

For XP Pro: Click Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC Go to User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Start Menu and Taskbar. In the right pane, locate Remove and prevent access to the shutdown command. Double click it and set it to Enabled (to enable the policy).

For XP Home (of if you want to enable this on a per-user basis in Pro): See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Windows XP Security Console. You can enforce this restriction, and many others, on a per-user basis.

Its there. Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies, Security Options.

Look for Shutdown: Allow system to be shutdown without having to log on. Set this policy to Disabled. Its Enabled by default.

[Guest]

you can put a piece of colored tape or a cut out sticky pad over the area
where the shutdown button is, that way people cant see it.

But how would you deal with different screen resolutions when the
position of the button might change?
