Windows XP Prank - Remove the Shutdown Button

Visit http://PCWizKidsTechTalk.com - Tips and Tweaks
If you want to play a trick on someone in Windows XP, you can prevent them from shutting down their PC by disabling the shutdown button.

Notes from video:
In the Registry Editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. Create a new DWORD value named NoClose with a data value of 1. Exit the Registry and reboot in order for the change to take effect. You won't be able to shut down Windows in the normal manner from now on, use the shutdown -r or -s command instead from the run field.
If you want to reenable normal shutdowns, delete the NoClose value.

Remember always backup your registry!
