Windows7: Howto force a "do you really want to shutdown?" dialog
- by Vokuhila-Oliba
Sometimes I wanted to choose "logout current user", but then I hit "Shutdown" by accident.
Nearly everywhere else Windows7 is asking "do you really want to do this Yes/No".
But that's not the case when I hit the "Shutdown" button. Windows7 shuts down immediately without giving me the chance to correct my mistake.
Q1: So I am wondering why Windows7 shuts down immediately without asking "really do that?" in this case.
Q2: Is there a way to change this behavior? E.g. Could I force Windows7 to display a dialog asking "Do you really want to shutdown ?".
ADDED: I am running Windows7 Professional 64bit.
ADDED: I tried to change this behavior with the policy editor. It seems to be very easy to completely remove the Shutdown button from the start menu. But I couldn't find an entry to turn on such a Yes/No dialog.
