Dear Phil,

You can use the ntrights.exe tool to disable ShutDown privilege from the
guest account.

You can type the following command in Command Prompt

ntrights -u Guest -r SeShutdownPrivilege

For more information about ntrights.exe tool, you can refer to the
following article:

How to Set Logon User Rights with the Ntrights.exe Utility
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q279/6/64.asp

Note: Because this tool is included in Windows 2000 Resource Kit. If you do
not have it, please open up a case to request this tool. You can submit a
new case from http://support.microsoft.com/support/webresponse.asp
