Disable all power button functions in Windows 7

I'm configuring some Windows 7 clients to be very locked down and only run a specific application.
They auto logon correctly and start the application, but I have been unable to completely disable the power button in the start menu so that the users cannot turn the machines off in any way. I have set disable logoff and removed access to shutdown, restart,
sleep and hibernate through group policy, but the button still defaults to logoff, with all the additional options in the arrow menu unavailable.
My only other thought was to try a custom GUI instead of explorer.exe, but would much rather do it through group policy or registry if possible.

I ran into this problem with Windows 7 at a radio station.  We needed to prevent our on air talent from performing any of the start menu power actions at all.  We have a Reboot Script should it need to be rebooted, and we can access the system
as administrator by holding SHift key during boot up. 
We basically needed windows to be set up like a KIOSK, stripping and disabling - Shutdown, Switch user,  Sleep, Restart, Logoff and Lock.  here is what I have found to work.  I found this blog....

  • Is it possible to disable All Pages button in Results

    Hellow Gurus,
    I am displaying only 10 rows per page in Table result. My user should able to go next page click on “Next Page” button. But we want to delete / disable “All Pages” button only . Is it possible in OBIEE? If yes how can we do this one.
    I really appreciated for your help.

    You can do this by following way
    Modify javascript method 'RTScroll' in C:\OracleBI\web\app\res\b_mozilla\tableview.js
    function RTScroll(sViewID, tbl, sStart)
    if(sStart == -1)
    sStart=0;
    if (WBCheckChanges(tbl))
    return;
    var sViewIdToRefresh = saw.view.getRefreshStatePath(sViewID,"tableView");
         var tForm = GetViewForm(sViewID,sViewIdToRefresh);
         tForm.Action.value = "Scroll";
         tForm.StateAction.value = "samePageState";
         tForm.P5.value = sStart;
         submitViewForm(tForm,null);
    Hope it helped you

  • Restore Original Mavericks Power Button Functionality

    I'm curious if there's any way to restore the original power button functionality that was present in 10.9? I know that the slight tap bothered people with the power button being on the keyboard for some of the newer macs, but I have a mid-2009 MBP so for me accidentally hitting the power button is not an issue. I really liked being able to hit the power button and have the computer sleep immediately, kind of like an iPhone. Is there any way to change it back to that? The new way where you have to hold the power button for a couple seconds is just annoying as heck to me now (I got pretty used to the way it was originally).
    Is there a program or command I can enter to fix this? I tried Google searching for this, but a majority of articles and questions are doing the opposite.
    Thanks in advance.

    No. Sorry.
    Best.

  • Power button function windows 7

    just setup windows 7 and noticed when i hit the power button on the mac air it just puts it in sleep, i checked the function setting in start bar in windows and its set for power button action to be shut off. any ideas?

    maybe you and windows have a different idea about if it's a powerbutton or something else
    I would look around windows power settings and try changing some of the other actions which it have set to put it a sleep and change that to see if that solves it

  • IPhone disabled, broken power button, no passcode, how to restore?

    iPhone 5 says "iphone is disabled", the top power button is broken, no possible way of putting in the passcode. Need to restore/restart/unlock/whatever it.
    How do?

    Try this:
    Use Find My iPhone
    If you enabled Find My iPhone, you can use it to erase your device.
    Go to icloud.com/#find to see if you enabled Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices at the top of your browser window.
    Select your device and click "Erase [device]" to erase your device and its passcode.
    Use the Setup Assistant on your device to restore the most recent backup of your device.

  • Power button shutdown choice window always open

    I turned off my MacBook Pro using the power button after running Migration Assistant transferring user profile from another Mac via ethernet. The migration stalled. I turned off the new MacBook Pro and now, after it starts up normally, the window that you get when you press the power button that gives you the option to Restart, Sleep, Cancel or Shut down is always on. It won't cancel, but selecting any other option and starting up again the window comes back up.
    The button itself still functions and doesn't feel stuck at all. I have erased the HD and reinstalled OS, but window to shutdown keeps coming up

    A few more informations
    My macbook felt a few times on the floor, once on the corner where the power button is located (...), but it was a few months, or a few years ago, and it didn't show the power button's problem before today
    Since a few weeks, my trackpad stopped clicking
    My battery says since a year or more "service battery", so it could may be battery-related ?
    ....Yeah, this Macbook is kind of screwed, but I'd like to keep it alive

  • Power button functions still available in lockscreen

    Hi all.
    I find it to be a real concern that my power button options (airplane mode, turn off phone, etc) is still active when my lockscreen is active. IE, you can still switch off the phone even thought u didn't unlock it.
    Can anyone help to disable this. It's obviously a security risk to me.
    Many Tx
    Reaper.

    Unfortunately you cannot alter this, however the chance of this happening is quite minimal as it would require the power button to be pressed, released then held down for a period of time immediately after the release of the button and before it goes back into sleep mode.

  • Is there a way to disable the power button when iPhone is lock with a pass code?

    This is for security reason as you can still track ur iPhone/iPad when someone decides to steal it. My iPad 2 64gb + 3G and a MacBook Pro 17 was recently stolen and I was able to track it 10-15 mins (after the incident) until the thieve(s) decided to turn the iPad off. It would be great if someone or even Apple could add this option to the cellular versions so victims of theft could have a slight chance of retrieving stuff back (with the help of law enforcements).

    You cannot at this time. Feedback to Apple goes at www.apple.com/feedback. There are other ways for a thief to disable Find my iPhone. It is not really intended to track stolen devices although it will, it is more for lost devices.

  • Custom button in alv and disabling all buttons in application tool bar

    Experts,
    Could you please  help me for the below requirements.
    1). How to disable all the buttons (like sorting, print, find, set filter...etc.) in tool bar using oops?
    2). Where can I add my custom download button in alv report using oops?
    Thanks in advance...
    Sridhar..

    Step1:
    Create on local class
    Class <LCL_EVENT_RECEIVER> Definition
    Define the below public methods.
    Method Name     HANDLE_TOOLBAR
    Event Name     TOOLBAR
    Event Class     CL_GUI_ALV_GRID
    Importing     E_OBJECT, E_INTERACTIVE
    Method Name     HANDLE_USER_COMMAND
    Event Name     USER_COMMAND
    Event Class     CL_GUI_ALV_GRID
    Importing     E_UCOMM
    Class <LCL_EVENT_RECEIVER> Implementation 
    .     Method HANDLE_TOOLBAR
         Declare the structure <LS_TOOLBAR> of structure type STB_BUTTON
         Append the button information as given below into table E_OBJECT->MT_TOOLBAR to         display the custom button on ALV grid.
                               LS_TOOLBAR-FUNCTION = u2018DOWNu2019
                         LS_TOOLBAR-QUICKINFO = u2018downloadu2019
                         LS_TOOLBAR-TEXT = u2018downloadu2019
         Method HANDLE_USER_COMMAND
    In this method if E_UCOMM = u2018DOWNu2019 write your logic.
    Step2:
    1.     To excluding the ALV grid buttons, fill the <LT_EXC> with function code CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>MC_FC_EXCL_ALL
    2.     To generate the ALV Grid, call the method SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY
    Class     CL_GUI_ALV_GRID
    Method Name     SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY
    Exporting     
    I_STRUCTURE_NAME      ZDS_CM_EXT_SEL
    LS_LAYOUT                    <LS_LAYOUT>
    IT_TOOLBAR_EXCLUDING     <LT_EXC>
    Changing     
    IT_OUTTAB                    <GT_EXT_SEL>
    Create the Instance for class <LCL_EVENT_RECEIVER>
    Class     <LCL_EVENT_RECEIVER>
    Instance Name     <LO_EVENT_FNAME>
    Now set handler  <HANDLE_USER_COMMAND> and <HANDLE_TOOLBAR_FNAME> events using instance <LO_EVENT_FNAME>
    Call method 'SET_TOOLBAR_INTERACTIVE' to raise event TOOLBAR
    Class     CL_GUI_ALV_GRID
    Instance Name     <GO_GRID>
    Method Name     SET_TOOLBAR_INTERACTIVE

  • Is it possible to disable the Export Application Button/functionality

    Hi fellows,
    I need to disable the export button/functionality in a customer's apex installation (3.2.1) as part of the security measures.
    Customer do not want developers to be able to export the applications they have access to. As the internal application is not editable (is it with some sort of trick??) , does anyone ever had this requirement and know how to do it?
    Thanks in advance for your support.
    JP

    Hello,
    >> I need to disable the export button/functionality in a customer's apex installation (3.2.1) as part of the security measures.
    >> this need applies for both development and production enviroments although if a solution is available, it will be first tried in the development enviroment.
    I agree with Tyler, this is indeed a really strange request. If your customer can’t rely on his developers, I would say you have a problem. I’m saying it because disabling the export button, even if it’s possible, doesn’t really give you any kind of protection. A malicious developer can still export APEX application using the Java utility APEXExport; it can be done with SQL Developer; it can also be done on a page level, and I only named the documented options.
    I don’t think this type of action should be considered for a development environment. Of course, the production environment is a completely different ball game. You can use the APEX run-time only environment, and by that neutralize most of the developer related “risks”.
    Just my 2 ¢,
    Arie.

    Hi,
    Power Button Lockout is displayed.
    The monitor's Power Button Lockout function is enabled.
    Press and hold the Power button for 10 seconds to unlock the Power button function.
    If the above doesn't work then try a monitor reset.  Unplug the monitor’s power cord and hold down the monitor’s power button for 30-60 seconds. Plug the monitor back in and power it up.
