Cannot Restore Default Setting for Shutdown Button

ID: Q155956

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

If you click the "Enable shutdown from the Authentication dialog box" check box in System Policy Editor (Poledit.exe) so that it is selected, the Shutdown button in the Logon Information dialog box is enabled in both Windows NT 4.0 Server and Workstation. If you clear the "Enable shutdown from the Authentication dialog box" check box, the Shutdown button is disabled in both Windows NT 4.0 Server and Workstation.

By default, the Shutdown button is disabled in Windows NT Server and enabled in Windows NT Workstation. If you change the setting, you cannot restore the default setting.

CAUSE

System Policy Editor does not have an option to restore the default setting.

RESOLUTION

Using System Policy Editor, manually connect to each computer for which you want to enable or disable the Shutdown button setting, and change the setting as needed.
