I'm the administrator for my computer. Because there are
many childrens in my family, they like to play with my
computer. I'll use the switch-user button to change the
account to guest, so that they will not come to my files.
However, they like to shut the computer down, so that all
my unsaved files will be gone. Is there any option so
that I can disable the 'Reboot' and 'Shutdown' button for
the guest account? I'm using Windows XP Professional.

Thanks in advance,
Andy

See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Windows XP Security Console. You can remove the Shutdown option from their Start Menu, and the Welcome Screen with this utility.
