Disabling disconnect.

[jerry]

Using WinXP and remote desktop connection to log on to a
w2k3 terminal server.
Once connected, there is a small banner on the top middle
of the screen that has the minimize (-), maximize (double
windows), and disconnect (x)on the right end of it.
Is there a way to disable the disconnect (x) feature so
users have to use the logoff feature from the start menu?
thanks

In the Remote Desktop client, make sure the "Show Connection Bar..."
is unselected on the Display tab...

Note, though, that the Disconnect option will still be shown in the
Start Menu.

Thanks for your input but i want the bar to be displayed.
I was wondering if there's a way to disable the disconect
function. As fas as the start menu goes, i have it
disabled through group policy.

As far as I am aware, you won't be able to get rid of the close window
"x" in the connection bar.
