Get rid of Shut Down Computer Option in XP?

[SarCaSM]

Ok folks. question. When the machine is locked, there is the option to put your pass in to unlock it, and then there is also an option to shut down the computer. is there a way to get rid of this option, maybe through the registry?

Yeah, you don't even have to go into the registry.

Go to "Local Security Policy" under Administrative Tools. Under Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options, you'll find "Shutdown: Allow system to be shut down without having to log on". Disable that, and you're set.
