Enable shutdown button on win 2003

Two of the most annoying things about being a developer using Windows 2003 in my mind are: (1) the shutdown dialog which forces you to fill out why you’re shutting down, and (2) the lack of the shutdown button on the login dialog. Fortunately, remedying both is pretty simple.

Start / Run / gpedit.msc

Drill into Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Local Policies / Security Options. Find the entry named “Shutdown: Allow system to be shut down without having to log on”. Double click on it, change it to “Enabled”.

Drill into Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / System. Find the entry named “Display Shutdown Event Tracker”. Double click on it, change it to “Disabled”.
