Is there a way to disable or hook all shutdown or restarts?

[Mark K Vallevand]

Is there a way to disable or hook all shutdowns or restarts except the ones
that come thru my programs?

It would be OK if the only way to shutdown or restart is with the xpepm
program. But, I don't want any of the normal ways to work. I especially
don't want XPe to prompt for a restart after a configuration change. Or, if
it does prompt for a restart, it doesn't happen if they select OK.

Mark,

Open gpedit.msc and track registry changes.

Go to User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Start Menu and Taskbar
Open "Remove and disable the Turn Off Computer button" and Enable this
value.

If there are other ways for your user to disable your device. You can find a
way to disable it in this util.

Regards,
Slobodan

Great! Thanks.
Anyone know of a way to prevent XPe from suggesting a reboot when changing
configuration information like computer name?

There are a couple of tips on suppressing such prompts /
displays in the "Other" section of this page:
