Restrict Others from PC Power (Shutdown/Hibernate)

Hi guys, today i want to show you how you can actually restrict people from shutting down your system when you are not around.
Lets not waste much time, i will just take you straight to way of doing this when you want to activate this.

I believe that by now you have little knowledge of how to use the Control Panel and with the System/Administrators.

Just access the Control Panel from the left pane of the your windows start menu, click on Control Panel, select System and Security when the system is set on the View By as Category, when it is set on the Large or Small Icons, just scroll down and select Administrative Tools. The option Administrative Tools comes when you select the System and Security option. 

Now take a step into the Administrative Tools by clicking on it to open. On the loaded page you would see many available options, select Local Security Policy and double click to open.

The window opens in two panes, showing the heading and it contents on the left pane of it, select Local Policy and double to open, from the drop-down list select User Right Assignment.

Move to the left pane for the contents and scroll down till your see  shutdown the system.

Click on this List item (Shutdown the system) to open, it will open a window to allow you add and remove User Groups.

Select the User group which your account belongs and click on the remove. Next click on Apply to makes changes and exit.

Even you can not be able shutdown your system now.

To activate make your shutdown system again, repeat the same process and this time around  select Add User or Group and type the your System User Name or the Group which your account belongs to and click to apply. 

If the the changes cannot take place when your type the name, makes sure your type the correct name and try again.

This can be very helpful when you have two account on your PC and do not want the other user account to have power control over the system.
