Preventing ACPI Power Down

I have a machine with Windows 2000 working with ACPI. When I shutdown the computer, it turns itself off. I want to prevent this, because I control the power supply from an external switch.

Is there a possibility? I don't want to deactivate the hole ACPI because I fear it could crash the hole system.

thx for any suggetions

Try editing this registry key ..

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"PowerdownAfterShutdown"="0"
