A way to remove "Shut down" and leave "Restart"?
I know about the "NoClose" Win98 registry key to remove the "Shut
Down..." selection from the Start menu. I would like to know if there is a way to leave "Shut Down..." available from the Start menu, but remove "Shut down" or disable it in the "Shut Down Windows" dialog box so my users can "Restart" their computer but not turn it off. I haven't had much luck searching the web for this. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!! |

A way to remove "Shut down" and leave "Restart"?
Thank you very much AB!!!
I tested and this has the effect that I want. Two things that I would like (but will live without if they can't be done): #1 - Is there a way to make this bring up a confirmation box? #2 - Is there a way to place the shortcut at the bottom of the Start menu like the "real" Shut Down... button? Thanks again and TIA! "AlmostBob" wrote in message ...

Start Menu control
Not unless there is some third party software that will do it. All added
shortcuts on the first menu pane are added above programs. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "TonyR do not reply to - unread mailbox" wrote in message om...
