fast user switching

I figure if Windows Vista will have an easy way to disable the Turn Off Computer button in the Welcome screen when another account is still active?
You know when Sam turns off or restarts the PC after playing Doom III when Sally had her online bank transaction still going on?
I remember there is a setting in Group Policy to disable the button but I doubt the average user would ever notice it...
Thanks.

Nicholas,
Not sure what your question is here. But here is a go at it anyway.
The defaul behavior is to have FUS (Fast user switching) on even when you are joined to a domain in Windows Vista. This will keep all programs running for the different sessions. So if sam is playing doom and you switch to sally start a browser transaction it would stay running if not closed before moving back to sam. Now that may sound like a risk, but as long as Sally has to authenticate to get back to here session meaning the machine is part of the domain or the local account password isnt' blank, it really isn't.
Now, with that said is it possible to disable FUS via Group Policy, yes...

Hi,
Thanks for your response first. I was asking whether there would be an easy wayto disable the "Turn Off Computer" button on the bottom left of the Welcome screen so that when one logs off he/she can't turn off the computer that would lose the activities in the other user's session. Actually all Turn Off Buttons should be disabled for consistency. Of course that won't save people from unplugging the power cord.

There should be a way to change this using Group Policy Editor. I can't remember off the top of my head, but it should be either in Group Policy Editor, or Security Policy because it's all down to which users can do what.
I'm sure it's in Sec.Pol...?
