Disable the "Turn Off Computer" in windows XP?

this is a great idea for those Admin users who want to restrict the common users to shutdown public computer in common areas. You can disable the "Turn off Computer" option on the start menu and a common user will not "Turn Off, Restart and Stand By" a computer.

so here we go

You will need to be logged into your computer with administrative rights.

LOcate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer in your registry editor.

On right side panel, right click to create a new DWORD value with the name NoClose.
Done restart your computer and see the changes.

Note( if you want to enable "Turn Off Computer" option in start menu simply change the value of data box to 0 or delete NoClose DWORD item.)
