Ban Shutdowns how to disable the Shut Down option

Ban Shutdowns
how to disable the Shut Down option in the Shut Down Dialog Box. This trick
involves editing the registry, so please make backups. Launch regedit.exe and go to :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre
ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
In the right pane look for the NoClose Key. If it is not already there then create it by right
clicking in the right pane and selecting New > String Value.(Name it NoCloseKey ) Now
once you see the NoCloseKey in the right pane, right click on it and select Modify. Then
Type 1 in the Value Data Box.
Doing the above on a Win98 system disables the Shut Down option in the Shut Down
Dialog Box. But on a Win95 machine if the value of NoCloseKey is set to 1 then click on
the Start > Shut Down button displays the following error message:
This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please
contact your system administrator.
You can enable the shut down option by changing the value of NoCloseKey to 0 or
simply deleting the particular entry i.e. deleting NoCloseKey.
Instead of performing the above difficult to remember process, simply save the following
with an extension of .reg and add it's contents to the registry by double clicking on it.
