Removing the 'Shutdown' & 'Restart' options from the Shutdown menu

Hello,
We're running SQL Server 2000 on a couple of clustered Windows 2000 servers.
This is working great but I'm paranoid about accidentally rebooting/shutdown
one of the servers. Because of this, I would like to remove the 'Shutdown' &
'Restart' options from the Shutdown menu (Start -> Shutdown). Since both
machines are running Terminal Services, I could still restart the machines
with the 'TSShutdn' command. I don't want to do implement this thru my
domain GPO or the local security policy though. I'm really looking for a
'Registry Hack'. Any suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Veets
 
Set the Reg_Sz value of;
ShutdownWithoutLogon = 0
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Set the Reg_Dword value of;
NoClose = 1
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
