Windows 2000 Server Terminal Services

You can remove the button, but it will be for everyone, not just the Terminal Service users. However there is a way to prevent a user from shutting down the server.
Click start >> Run
Type mmc, Click OK
From the Console menu, select 'add/remove snap-in'
Click on ADD
find 'Group Policies' Click ADD, click FINISH, Click CLOSE, Click OK
On the Left, open 'Local Computer Policy'
Open 'Computer configuration'
Open 'Windows Settings' - 'Security Settings' - 'Local Policies' - 'User RightsAssignments"

On the Right Side find..."Shut Down The System"
Remove the check mark from any user you do not want to be able to shut down the system.
Caution, if you are using Terminal Services in 'Administrative Mode' Then every user who logs in via TS will be an administrator. In this case, you will need to remove the 'Shut Down The System' privileges from the 'Administrators' group. Next you will need to add the individual persons you want to give the permission for a reboot or shutdown.

Hope this helps.

Use local group policy to disable the button. YOu have to add it to the MMC and save it. You have to be careful, because the local policy gets applied to ALL user accounts even the admin. SO once you've created it you have to deny Admin access towinnt\system32\GroupPolicy so the policy does not get applied when you log in as an admin.
Anytime you want to modify the Policy you have to grant yourself the perrmission.
