- No shutdown allowed
Some people like to keep their computers turned on all the time. If you're one of them or if you just want to keep others from shutting down your system for a while, here's a trick for you.
(It takes a Registry hack, so if you're not familiar with Windows' Registry, check out our instructions and precautions at www.WE-Compute.com/registry.html first.)
In the Registry, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer. From the Edit menu, select New and String Value. Right-click the new value in the right pane and select Rename. Type NoClose as the string's new name. Next double-click on it to open the Edit String dialogue box. Enter 1 (the numeral one) as the value data and click OK.
Close the Editor.
Your system cannot be closed or restarted now through the usual Shutdown command.
While this won't make it impossible for people to turn off the computer, it should leave them scratching their heads for a few minutes.
To re-enable shutdown, return to the NoClose string and change its value to 0 (zero) or delete it altogether.
