Guest seawillie Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Does anybody know how to stop (abort) windows XP Pro from shutting down (keystroke) after the turnoff or restart button is clicked? Thanks for some help. Seawillie
Guest Newbie Coder Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Re: aborting windows shutdown Sea Willie, I answered this question a few months ago in here Windows checks for the shutdown permission and allows or denies shutdown. The only way to do it is via code & I had written the code & posted it on the Got Dot Net website that closed down a few months back now. It was on there for at least 3 years -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "seawillie" <seawillie@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:23997CF1-A906-4F2C-8AF5-AE6546CCBC52@microsoft.com... > Does anybody know how to stop (abort) windows XP Pro from shutting down > (keystroke) after the turnoff or restart button is clicked? > Thanks for some help.

Why do you ask? Do you have a problem making up your mind?
Guest Newbie Coder Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Re: aborting windows shutdown Bob, That is for the RPC errors & that dialog box that shutdown shows. If it's started with InitiateSystemShutdown API then it won't work The only way to truly do it is to revoke the SHUTDOWN permission -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "Bob I" <birelan@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:O0uuwCO6HHA.1168@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Shutdown.exe -a aborts a shutdown > > seawillie wrote: > > > Does anybody know how to stop (abort) windows XP Pro from shutting down > > (keystroke) after the turnoff or restart button is clicked? > > Thanks for some help.
