All,
gpoledit and policies are a dark-art to me.

Could a kind soul explain how I can limit one particular account to NOT
have 'shutdown' in the 'shutdown menu' on an XP Pro machine please?

I want them to be able to log off the session, but not shutdown, or
restart the machine.

You can still use a 'domain wide policy' to do this (the easy way in an
SBS enviroment) - but you'll need to create a new OU for this one user,
and put 'em in it. (That's how I'd go about it.)

O.K.

Can you point to a 'Policies' hand-holding example anywhere?

TIA,
Philip Partridge
