I'm actually looking for a way to disable both the "Lock Computer" and "Log Off" buttons. Is there a way to do this without using group policy? Can it be done with a registry change?

Would you want to do this for, it's important for people to be able to use the log off and lock computer this stops people accessing the machine when the user is not at his/her desk?

You can create a new DWORD under [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] and set it to 1. That will remove the log off button for that user. If you set it under HKLM that will disable it for the system. I think StartMenuLogoff will do the same thing.

in Start menu properties.

edit: On the start menu, that is. Not for Ctrl+Alt+Del.
