Prevent a user from shutting down a PC
We have a presentation PC in an auditorium. Any user can login to to conduct a presentation. The PC itself is physically locked in a room, but the USB connections are extended to the lectern. The problem is, sometimes a user will 'shutdown' the PC after the presentation. IT is then a bit of an exercise to get the room unlocked so that the PC can be physically powered back on.
Ideally we would like to 'password-protect' the function of shutting down on this PC. This would prevent users from doing it but would still allow the ability to do it when needed (by entering the password.)
Any way to accomplish this, fairly easily?
Windows 7 is what is on the PC.
Thanks
