Removing the power button from welcome screen

morpheus2n2 · 18 Nov 2009

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, please move if needed!!

I have done a Google search and nothin helpful popped up.
I want to know if i can remove the power button from the bottom of the welcome/locked screen as my lovely 2 year old keeps turning my PC off it its lock or on the welcome screen, I have a lockable door on my PC case so he can't get at that power button so this is the only thing we can think is its the power button on the welcome screen lol
Thanks for any help

Hello Morpheus, and welcome to Seven Forums.

This may help, but it also removes them from the Start Menu. It's the same in Windows 7.

Hope this helps,

Ok that did't do what i expected it to Its the little red button on the lower right corner of the Welcome screen that I wanted to remove but its still there after using the above method?

Strange it works for me using METHOD ONE in group policy.

lol i'll keep hunting im sure theres a way to do it

Did you try both methods to see if one or the other would work for you? It should work in Windows 7 as well if all of the steps were followed. I tested both of them on mine.

Yeah its removed the options from my start menu and if I press ALT-CTRL-DEL the red button is gone but if i switch user / lock PC or have logged off the button is still there

DOH!!

I'm so sorry Morpheus. I had the wrong tutorial posted. It's this one instead.
