=> remove shutdown from start menu and also from all other possible options.
=> hide shutdown from start menu
=> disable shutdown all togetherlearn to do it now!!! (it takes less than a minute to do so)

Disclaimer: this is an article which just brings out the fact that removing the shut down menu option from the start menu is possible. If you however get caught by your manager or college system administrator, and get whipped in your ass, I cannot be held responsible. This tool is a inbuilt tool present in windows XP, just like msgconfig. So you got to execute this command using run.

1 . Start ->run and type gpedit.msc The gpedit stands for group policy and you can do wonders using this. Also if
you a minute with your pal’s system and this pal tries to flirt your girl friend
- You can make a lot of changes to his system in the time he leaves you alone
with his system, to have him go bonkers.

2. User configuration -> administrative Templates -> start menu and taskbar ->
3. This option opens up a pane on the right hand side. Identify the option named
- Remove SHUT DOWN on the start menu .

4. Double click Remove SHUT DOWN on the start menu option

5. a small screen pops up and you may like to read about the explanation in the
EXPLAIN TAB before you change the settings.

6. Just change the radio button TO ENABLED and say apply.
7. DONE. No need to log off or restart the system. (You may however have to find
a way to restart your system.)

8. This option disables the log off option from the system. From the start menu, also from the life saver – three buttons CTRL - ALT - DEL options. This option goes well with the HIDING THE LOG OFF FROM START MENU… (To shut down ur system:-without using frm shut down menu) The solution is that u can switch user thru task manager (alt+ctrl+del) or by pressing winkey+L where u get the option to turn off ur compy/restart/stand
by.

or u may create a shortcut using this shortcut location

to shutdown ur sys %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s

to restart, u can use this shortcut %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -r
