    Hello.

    I was cleaning my computers' keyboards and desk earlier, and I
    accidently shut down and rebooted my locked Windows XP Pro SP3 from its keyboard input. I assume it is because of the turn off option. Is there
    a way to remove/disable it?

    Thank you in advance. :)

    I remember doing that, often, but it has been long since I last set up an XP

    system from scratch. I can't remember how I did it, before, but looking at my current XP setup, I find "Shutdown: Allow system to be shut down without having

    to log on" in Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy -> Local Policies

    Security Options. Of course on my XP system it is set to Disabled, because I always disabled it on the systems I set up, to avoid the exact scenario you describe. :) Sorry I can't remember if this is the only way to do it, or if there was something easier I did.
