Some times when working with virtual machines … it is a good idea to disable the shut down to make sure you don’t hit it by accident

so this is how it works

Start Group Policy Editor (Start > Run > “gpedit.msc”)
In the left panel, go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu & Taskbar
In the right panel, enable Remove and Prevent Access to the Shut Down Command

Off course you can still, if you want to, shutdown via the Run command (shutdown.exe -s -t 0) or more dramatically make a forced shutdown (shutdown -f -t 00) – don´t do this unless you really really have to…cheers
