i have an xp system that reboots when i issue the shutdown command.

this problem was not occurring prior to uninstalling symantec antivirus.

at this point i just need the quickest solution to prevent windows from rebooting. i.e., is there a registry setting that will completely disable windows ability to reboot?

any alternative suggestions (even if they are not quick) will be happily accepted too.

P.S.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\
WindowsUpdate\AU\NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers = 1
does not solve my problem. just mentioning this (not because i
thought it would work) but because it's been suggested to
me by a number of other folks and i figure it might continue to
be suggested unless i mention i've tried it.
 
See what happens if you run this command.

Start > run > shutdown -s -t 0

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
