How do I hide the "turn off computer" button in the Start
Menu? I don't want that option there, I only want the
users to choose "Log off."

Thanks

Open Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) and navigate to:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer]

and

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Explorer]

In the right-pane, set the value for 'NoClose' to 1. If it does not exist, create a new DWORD value named 'NoClose'.

If 'NoClose' does not exist in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE area, no need to create it.

Thanks for the info.

I created a DWORD value in CURRENT USER, but there is no
EXPLORER folder under LOCAL MACHINE?

How do I shut the computer down after I've changed the
registry key? Is there a command line command to shut the
computer down?

Logoff and shutdown the system from Welcome Screen. Or, use Shutdown.exe command line. Open Command Prompt window and type shutdown /? for parameters.

Is there a resource on Micorsoft.com that can give me
more registry changes like this?

Thanks for your help!

Do a search in Google - group policy registry table - might help! Many tweaks are undocumented though.
