Hi,

I don't know if this is "group policy" as such.

The problem I'm having is that the Logging Off dialog box keeps remembering
the last option the user chose. e.g. if they choose "Restart", their dialog
box will always offer them "Restart" from that point onwards, instead of
"Log Off xxxyyyzzz". I don't want them to be locked out from being able to
shut down or restart the machine, I just want the default to always be "Log
Off".

I guess I could add "Log Off" to the start menu, but they are used to doing
"Start : Shut Down : Log off"
 
Hi Gerry Hickman,

Use the following administrative template:

;----------Start Code-------------------------
CLASS USER
CATEGORY !!category

CATEGORY !!categoryname
POLICY !!ShutDownOption
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer"
EXPLAIN !!explaintextShutDownOption
PART !!labeltext DROPDOWNLIST REQUIRED

VALUENAME "Shutdown Setting"
ITEMLIST
NAME !!ShutDown VALUE NUMERIC 2
NAME !!LogOff VALUE NUMERIC 3 DEFAULT
NAME !!Restart VALUE NUMERIC 4
NAME !!Standby VALUE NUMERIC 16
END ITEMLIST
END PART
END POLICY
END CATEGORY
END CATEGORY



[strings]
category = "Custom Policy Settings"
categoryname = "Shutdown Dialog Box"
ShutDownOption = "Shutdown Options"
explaintextShutDownOption = "Costumize Shutdown Dialog Box"
labeltext = "Shutdown Options"
ShutDown="Shut down"
LogOff="Log off"
Restart="Restart"
Standby="Stand by"
;----------End Code--------------------------

Regards,
 
Thanks VMM,

This looks exactly what I need.
