Remove Sleep, Suspend, Shutdown, Hibernate but KEEP RESTART

Hi,
I'm working in the healthcare field, and a lot of the units we're deploying, the user cannot access the power button.
However, some of the software we use, on win7, is archaic enough that the computer needs to be rebooted on occasion.
Consequently, we want to remove the user's ability to turn the machines off.
We would like to disable sleep, hibernate and Shut Down, but retain Restart.
Is that doable?
If so, how?
Thanks!

There are two group policy settings that together will set what you need.
The first setting sets the default option that appears on the button. By default it's Shutdown, it looks like you want to set this to Restart. Check out
Change the default Shutdown / Log Off Option via GPO.
The policy is User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Start Menu and Taskbar -> Change Start Menu Button. Enable and set this to Restart.
The second option removes the unneeded options. Check out Remove Shutdown and Restart Buttons In Windows 7
The policy is User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Start Menu and Taskbar -> Remove and prevent access to the Shut Down, Restart, Sleep, and Hibernate commands.
Enable and keep only the Restart option.
Both of these settings can be applied using either a GPO if the machines are joined to a domain, or the local policy with gpedit.msc.

  • Remove POP account in Outlook but keep messages

    I am relatively new to Mac... I have an old email account in my Outlook that I want to remove. However, I want to keep all of the downloaded messages. When I go to delete the account though, it says all messages will also be deleted. Is there a way around this? How can I save the messages? The email account is no longer active, so I want to remove it as Outlook is always trying to receive messages and comes up with erorr messages...
    Thanks for any help!

    Go to menu, Mailbox > New Maibox
    Location, select On My Mac. Name: My Archive (example)
    Go to your Inbox (the source), Select All Messages.
    Go to Menu > Message > Copy to "My Archive"
    Repeat the same for other folders. e.g. Sent

  • How can i remove photos from my phone but keep them on my computer

    I want to remove the photos I have taken on my iphone to free space but I want to keep them on my computer? Is this possible?

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. When there are photos/videos in the Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer.
    Import utilities include an option to delete the photos/videos from camera after the import process is complete. The same applies after importing photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.

  • Removing interactive booklets from Library but keeping them available

    I'd like to remove all interactive booklets from my primary Library, as I'm shuffling and throughout my library 24/7 and when it gets to one, it stops the shuffle/play process. But I'd obviously still like to keep them somewhere. Anyone have any good suggestions? Create a second library or playlist just for them - but won't they still reside on my main library still?

    This works for songs, I don't have any booklets so I can't test them but you could try this. CTRL & Click on each booklet in the library to highlight them. Right click anywhere in the selection and choose Get Info, you'll get a message asking if you want to edit multiple items, choose yes. In the Info box choose Yes for the setting "Skip when shuffling"

  • How do I remove music from itunes library but keep them in a separate folder on my mac?

    I also wouldn't mind understanding which specific folders the itunes library imports my music from. Does it search my whole computer and automatically add any music files or does it search only a specific folder? Is there a way to tell it which folder to use? Basically I'd like to keep two folders, one that itunes imports and one that is just on my computer and doesn't go to itunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    You can't.  The reason is because the actual photos are all in the camera roll.  The albums only contain links to these photos, not duplicate photos.  (Albums work like music playlists.  Music playlists also don't contain duplicate songs either; they only contain links to the songs in your music library.)

    A number of sleep-related issues can appear after incremental Mac OSX updates, including the inability to properly go to sleep, problems waking from sleep, and having your display go to sleep without your Mac going to sleep. The most common culprit is Bluetooth. Try these tips to fix your sleep problems.
    WAKE UP
    In System Preferences>Bluetooth, uncheck Allow Bluetooth Devices To Wake This Computer. If you are using a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, you'll have to wake your Mac by pressing the power button.
    FILE CORRUPTION
    Your Bluetooth preference file may be corrupt-you'll need to delete it. Turn Bluetooth off, then go to the /Users/user name/Library/Preferences folder. Look for a file called com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and trash it.The OS will create a new preference file when you enable Bluetooth again.
    ENERGY SAVER
    If you have issues with a Mac or display that goes to sleep at inappropriate times, you may have a problem with Energy Saver. Delete the following .plist files and restart:
    -/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    -/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist--
    (username is your name or System Administrators name)
    -/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
    A restart is very important after deleting these plists. After a reboot your Mac will then generate new ones.
    Some, in these forums, have had luck fixing sleep issues downloading the Combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
    Yours would be the 10.4.7 Combo update. Others reading, download the combo update that applies to you!
    Cheers!

  • Satellite L505D-S5965 got shutdown, hibernate and sleep problem after Windows 7 upgrade

    I bought my Satellite L505D-S5965 last August. Everything worked fine on Vista. Last month I upgraded it to Windows 7 (Home premium, build 7600), then it started having problem to shutdown, hibernate and sleep. Half of the time, it will shutdown, hibernate or sleep just fine, however, the other half of the time it just never turns off.
    For shutdown, it will go to the shutdown screen for 10 minutes until the a blue screen comes up, telling something about windows experience a crash and dumping memory, then it restarts itself.
    For hibernation and sleep, it will go to the normal black screen but the hard disk light never turns off (i.e. the hardisk would keep running forever).
    It will be a big help if someone can help me with that, I just don't want to keep doing the "hard turn off".

    Hey thats great posting and detailed, thank you! :)
    Im wondering how you found it out.
    But I want to add something: Before you do or change something in Windows registry, make a backup of it. In worst case you restore the old Windows registry. Just to be sure ;)

  • KDEmod: Remove Suspend and Hibernate buttons

    How can I remove Suspend and Hibernate buttons from the Close Session dialog? I don't use them, so I want to have just the Turn Off Button, Log out button and the Restart button.
    Also, is there a way to make them portuguese? My kdemod is in portuguese, but the close session dialog is not.

    It's been a while since I ran kde, but have you checked in
    control center's login manager settings? I think there's
    a font and language setting in there somewhere. If the font and language
    in login manager = the language you have set in Country/regional settings,
    then maybe what I do might help.
    I sometimes switch between Chinese and English.
    After editing /etc/locale.gen and running locale-gen
    to generate all the locales, (of course you already knew that! )
    I use .bashrc for my locale settings.
    Anyway, if you don't set, or comment out LC_ALL="yourlanguage"
    so it doesn't override any other LC settings,
    then set export LANG="yourlanguage"
    and then set the export LC_CTYPE="yoursecondlanguage"
    It makes it a lot easier switching between two languages,
    or using one or the other within a script for launching the application
    you want to run in what ever language.
    in my .bashrc file....
    #export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
    export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
    export LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8"
    I'm sure thats a total overkill answer to your language question!
    Sorry, I can't help with the hibernate and suspend button thing.

  • Mac Mini Late 2011 keeps restarting after shutdown.

    Hi, I had my Mac Mini Late 2011 installed with Mountain Lion yesterday (25 July 2012). The installation was successful but I cannot shut it down.
    When I shutdown, the system goes down and the display goes black, but after 3 seconds it starts up again showing the message that the Mac is restarting because there was a problem and ask me to push a key on keyboard to continue or wait for 40 seconds and the system will automatically continue.
    This happens repeatedly. It does not shutdown.
    So I decide to do the clean install the Mountain Lion but it does not solve the problem.
    Please help.
    Supong

    I have my problem solved now.
    My case, the Mac Mini mid 2011 and the Mountain Lion. I tried clean install the ML with no migration but this did not solve the problem.
    "evanluke" posted in another thread (thread no.19044865 https://discussions.apple.com/message/19044865?tstart=0#19044865?tstart=0 ) that when he read the system report, it showed system panic event related to graphic driver. He is using the Mac Pro so it is not difficult for him to remove the relevant hardware.
    But for me, the Mini, I have to wait for the mercy from Apple.
    So, I tried changing my monitor from HDMI to VGA using the DVI to VGA cable connecting to another monitor port.
    The display was ok though I could not set proper resolution. Then I switched back to HDMI, ** leaving the DVI connect to VGA monitor **, then shut Mini down. it went down properly with no self-restarting.
    I started up the Mini and shut it don again and again, no restart happened.
    I want to know what if I remove the VGA connection, it did self-restart again.
    Reconnecting the VGA, no self-reboot.
    I must leave DVI to VGA connect to both end to stop self-reboot problem until Apple realize the problem and post the update.

  • ITunes 11.0.4 for Windows keeps restarting and removing my set-up and preferences

    iTunes 11.0.4 for Windows keeps restarting and removing my set-up and preferences every time its shut down and re-opened, how can I stop this?
    All of the music (etc) is still there but I need to agree to the terms and condition of the 'Software License Agreement for iTunes for Windows' every time I open iTunes.
    Once opened there is no personal set-up, such as side menus and how the lists are set-up (e.g showing album images, music listed in ‘most played’ order,etc etc) I know how to re-do all of my settings, Its just getting very annoying now.
    Anyone know how to stop this or at least why It is doing it?

    I found why it defaults back to the wizard. I noticed in  C:/users/(User)/AppData/Roaming/Apple  Computer/iTunes/iTunesPerfs.xml file is deleted from this directory upon  exiting iTunes. When I manully restore this file itunes starts with my  correct settings. Why the .xml file being deleted I don't know. iTunes is deleting the file when you exit so I guess there is just a bug.
