Start, Run type SHUTDOWN -A and hit OK to stop Shutdown.

Service Pack 2 is not out yet, only the Beta, SP2 will
probably become available later this summer . . .

I meant to disable shutdown because I generally hibernate the pc and only need to shutdown when required for security updates, etc.
also when i use the shutdown command with a timer it logs me off and then waits for the specified time to be over and then it shutdowns my pc.

There are 10 types of people. Those who understand binary and those who

dont.

And do you? If so, the answer is.......

Start, Run type SHUTDOWN -A and hit OK to stop Shutdown.

That is Abort a shutdown (that has been initiated).

In XP Pro there is a control over who can do it in a run of gpedit.msc,
on the Computer Configuration - Windows Settings - Security Settings -
Local Policies - User rights assignment

'Shut Down the System' is usually permitted to Administrators only, but
you could adjust this to something more specific.

If doing so I would also make sure that in Control Panel - Power options
the Advanced page 'When I push the Power button' is set to 'Do Nothing'

I do understand binary. I learnt it in grade 6 (too early?).
But when I write in the command prompt shutdown -a it writes the application cannot be started because windows is shutting down ... or the applcation cannot be started because 0x000000(some number) cannot be initialized or something like that.
I dont have win xp pro but i have win xp home. I thought that win xp pro will run faster so i opted for that. But i cannot run gpedit.msc (very imp) and many other functions so. So I am thinking to install xp pro in a new partition.
And pushing the power button set option will not disable shutdown.

And Special Thanks to Kelly for helping me
