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.
