Shutdown options

[yggdrasiltrad]

I'm not sure if this has been answered elsewhere, I have looked
throughout the usenet group and didn't find quite what I wanted.
Anyhow, is there a way in Win XP Pro to change the shutdown options.
When one goes to Shutdown, I only want the option to restart. I know
this sounds sort of silly, but these are public computers and it
messes up our timers when someone shuts down a computer. In the
evenings at a certain time, the computers automatically shut
themselves down and I also have that option remotely, so I don't think
it would be a big deal if i ever need to shut one down.

Anyhow, if anyone has any helpful hints or solutions, I would greatly
appreciate it.

Thanks a lot.

I'd take a look at Group Policies. This should allow you to remove the
options you do not want available. You can also limit access to Control
Panel, etc.
