Allow Shutdown not in system registry

[Nathan Harmsworth]

Hi James...er...Wez :)

I didn't mean any offense by it and its not like I'm pro-MS ;) i was
just voicing an opinion :)

Not if its Win XP Pro...anything like Win 9x/ME then yep, I full agree,
however as he said that he is using windows xp pro which means he can restrict
file or folder permissions (doesn't matter if its only a workgroup) meaning
that he can stop them accessing those icon.

SCM? (forgive me if I appear thick here)

Fair enough but as I said in my intro email, I'd only just joined so I have
only just started reading these messages...think I might have all of this
thread
but I'm a new VNC user :)

I'll decline to comment here ;) don't want to cause ill-feeling.
