Ban Shutdowns



This is a neat trick you can play on that lamer that has a huge ego,
in this section I teach you, how to disable the Shut Down option in the Shut Down Dialog Box.
This trick involves editing the registry, so please make backups.
Launch regedit.exe and go to :

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

In the right pane look for the NoClose Key. If it is not already there then create it by right clicking in the right pane and

selecting New > String Value.(Name it NoCloseKey )

Now once you see the NoCloseKey in the right pane, right click on it and select Modify. Then Type 1 in the Value Data Box.
Doing the above on a Win98 system disables the Shut Down option in the Shut Down Dialog Box. But on a Win95machine
if the value of NoCloseKey is set to 1 then

click on the Start > Shut Down button displays the following error message:

This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.
You can enable the shut down option by changing the value of NoCloseKey to 0 or simply deleting the particular entry i.e. deleting NoCloseKey.
Instead of performing the above difficult to remember process, simply save the following with an extension of .reg and add it's contents to the registry by double clicking on it.

REGEDIT4

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

"NoClose"="1"

How to restrict user's to access shutdown button


This tip is very interesting for home and some small office users,
who wants to restrict user's ability to shutdown their computer.
You can hide the Shutdown button from the Start menu using registry editor and also restrict access to shutdown,
if a user clicks on Ctrl+Alt+Del.
Follow the given steps to hide system shutdown button from start menu:
To use this feature, you will need to be logged into your computer with
administrative rights.
Click Start button and type regedit in Run option then press Enter for next.
Here locate the location to:

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

Here in right side panel, right click to create a new DWORD value with name NoClose.
Now assign number 1 to its value data box.
Now close the registry editor and restart your computer after any changes to go into effect.
But next time, if you want to unhide the shutdown button then simply change the value data box to 0 or delete this DWORD item.
Again close the registry editor and restart your computer after any changes to go into effect.
