I am looking for a reg hack that will enable us to remove the option users have to "close all programs and log on as a new user" from the shutdown menu.

Thanks for the help

I can't find a reg hack or system policy that'll do that. You can disable the shutdown menu totally, but that's not a good idea. Someone else may know more.

Meanwhile, here's a third-party solution (I haven't used it so I make no recommendations):

This is a shareware program which I do not have the funds for (2000 machines) I am really hoping to do this without software.

To remove the Logoff ability, here is the Registry hack:

Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Name: NoLogoff
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

The program I pointed you to earlier describes itself as shareware but the license agreement states "You may install use and evaluate an unlimited number of copies of this software on your computers for an unlimited time period without obligation.""

So essentially it's freeware.

I checked out the software, it does not have an option to remove logoff from the shutdown menu. You can only remove the option from the start menu, which is not my problem

I can't vouch for the newest version, but the older versions of tweakui from Microsoft had the option to disable logoff.

It is unsupported freeware from MS, and is posted on numerous websites, including;
www.nonags.com
www.completelyfreesoftware.com

Both also have other freeware programs and utilities.

Just basic stuff!

run: REGEDIT

or if you have not try'd it the normal way go to Start Settings control panel and is in Users or Passwords!

sorry if you have already try'd this!
