• You can do this by amending the Local Policy.

    Obviously only do this if you are comfortable using the Policy Editor

    Start - > Run - > gpedit.msc

    navigate to User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Start Menu and Taskbar.

    In here edit the setting 'Remove and prevent access to the Shut Down command' and set it to 'Enabled'.

    This will also stop alt-F4 being used too.

    You will still be able to issue the shutdown command via cmd
