That article doesn't give any help how to disable shutdown. Or prerhaps you
want to convert shutdown to loggoff? These registry settings most likely
works also on windows xp. Have you tried them?
Proper way to prevent some user to shutdown the system is to use group
policy. Start group policy editor (gpedit.msc) and navigate to security
settings -> local policies -> user rights assignment. There is setting "shut
down the system". You can set which users or groups can do it. By default
all users can do it. I'm not sure if gpedit is available on windows xp home,
but pro version has it and also windows 2003 server.
