   I remember doing that, often, but it has been long since I last set up an XP
 
system from scratch. I can't remember how I did it, before, but looking at my 
current XP setup, I find "Shutdown: Allow system to be shut down without having
 
to log on" in Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy -> Local Policies
-> 
Security Options. Of course on my XP system it is set to Disabled, because I 
always disabled it on the systems I set up, to avoid the exact scenario you 
describe. :)  Sorry I can't remember if this is the only way to do it, or if 
there was something easier I did.
