hello People,

I hope some of you kind people can help me solve this small problem!

I require to disable the shutdown button on two of my local win xp pro
computers. The Computers are not connected to a server, they are
standalones.

I have about 5 users who use the computers and I do not want them to
shut down the computers. The users are not administrators on the
computers, they are Power Users.

Some steps I have done are, gone into

Admin..tools> Local Security Policy>User Rights Assignment and edited
policy "Shutdown the system" by removing the Power users group.

That works fine, BUT once the user logs off , they still have the
shutdown option on the CTRL+ALT+DEL windows. How do i disable that as
well?

I want the shutdown option available for administrators but not for the
users!

Your help is much appreciated!

Good Day!

Try including only administrators in that user right and remove everyone
else to see what happens. You may need to reboot the computer to see results
or try running gpupdate /force after changing that user right. --- Steve
