Remove Shutdown but leave Restart

[Ryan]

Is there a way to remove the shutdown command but leave
the option to restart? Or can a change the shutdown
command so that it will always restart a PC?

For W2K:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
"Shutdown Setting"=

A DWORD type
Saved the settign from the last time the system was shutdown (for this
User). 0x04 is "Restart"

I imagine you could do a registry merge to ensure the value.
Never tried.

It is my understanding that will only change the radio
button to default to Restart. Are there any other
options to remove the Shutdown option?

True. I see now that is not what you wanted.

You might create a shortcut to SHUTDOWN.EXE (or psshutdown.exe,
or...) and specify the switch to force a Restart...
