Removes the Shut Down item from the Start menu and disables the Shut Down button on the Windows Security dialog box.
As a result, users cannot use the Windows user interface to shut down the system. However, this entry does not prevent users from running programs that shut down Windows.
This entry stores the setting of the Disable and remove the Shut Down command Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 0.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | The policy is disabled or not configured. The Shut Down items appear. |
| 1 | The policy is enabled. The Shut Down items do not appear. |
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Disable and remove the Shut Down command policy (User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\Start Menu & Taskbar).
Note
Windows 2000 does not add this entry to the registry. You can add it by editing the registry or by using a program that edits the registry.
Tip
The Windows Security dialog box appears when you press Ctrl+Alt+Delete while logged on to the system.
For detailed information about particular Group Policy settings, see the Group Policy Reference (Gp.chm) on the Windows 2000 Resource Kit companion CD.
