Does anybody know how to stop (abort) windows XP Pro from shutting down
(keystroke) after the turnoff or restart button is clicked?
Thanks for some help. Seawillie

Sea Willie,

I answered this question a few months ago in here

Windows checks for the shutdown permission and allows or denies shutdown. The
only way to do it is via code & I had written the code & posted it on the Got
Dot Net website that closed down a few months back now. It was on there for at
least 3 years

Why do you ask?

Do you have a problem making up your mind?

Bob,

That is for the RPC errors & that dialog box that shutdown shows. If it's
started with InitiateSystemShutdown API then it won't work

The only way to truly do it is to revoke the SHUTDOWN permission
