aborting windows shutdown

[Guest]

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

Shutdown.exe -a aborts a shutdown

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

Thanks for explaining the difference.
