How do I hide the "turn off computer" button in the Start
Menu? I don't want that option there, I only want the
users to choose "Log off."

Thanks
 
Open Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) and navigate to:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

and

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

In the right-pane, set the value for 'NoClose' to 1. If it does not exist, create a new DWORD value named 'NoClose'.

If 'NoClose' does not exist in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE area, no need to create it.

Thanks for the info.

I created a DWORD value in CURRENT USER, but there is no
EXPLORER folder under LOCAL MACHINE?

Logoff and shutdown the system from Welcome Screen. Or, use Shutdown.exe command line. Open Command Prompt window and type shutdown /? for parameters.

Is there a resource on Micorsoft.com that can give me
more registry changes like this?

Thanks for your help!

Do a search in Google - group policy registry table - might help! Many tweaks are undocumented though.
