I have not looked for this yet in 2000 but I know that in NT you could remove the "Log Off" option. Might look and see if that is still around.

Subject: autologon intermittently working
All,
I have an NT 4 domain, and am adding a 2000 Pro machine to it. This machine
will be a public terminal, so I have created a rectricted logon and would
like this machine to only use those credentials. I configured autologon with
the appropriate registry entries, and the autologon does work when the
machine is rebooted. However if the machine is simply logged off and then
back on without restarting, the normal logon screen appears with the
username and password blank. If the machine is rebooted at that point,
autologon works properly. Sometimes when autologon fails, the registry
entries will change-the DefaultPassword key will be simply gone, two values
named AltDefaultUsename and AltDefaultDomainName will appear, AutoAdminLogon
will be set to 0, and DontDisplayLastUsername is set to 1. No 2000 Local
policies or NT 4 Domain policies are in effect on this computer.I could just
disable the logoff button, however that makes administering the machine a
bit more difficult. Has anyone else ran into this strange behavior?
Thanks in advance,
Sled
