Win 2000 default entry on Shutdown menu

The shutdown dialog on Windows 2000 (and XP with classic logoff) always annoyed me because Windows would remember the entry you chose previously.

See http://www.autoitscript.com/fileman/users/public/CyberSlug/ShutdownDialog.png if you have no idea what I am talking about.

I've looked a long time for a registry hack that make the dialog always default to "Shutdown" being selected... With the help of RegShot, I've finally found a solution. Put the following script in your Startup folder:

Note: This script requires an AutoIt version that contains the RegEnum function.

; If you know the key specific to your system, you would not need RegEnum
; For an EXAMPLE, here's my sytem:
;   RegWrite("HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1801674531-920026266-839522115-1003\_
;     Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer",_
;     "Shutdown Setting", "REG_DWORD", 0)
;

$value = 2
#cs -- Possible values (in order as the appear in the combo box):
     -- If you set value to 64 but your system does not support hibernate, I think "standby" is set
 1 = logoff (also 8 and 32)
 2 = shutdown (also 0)
 4 = restart
16 = standby
64 = hibernate
#ce


$key = getUserKey() & "\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer"
RegWrite ( "keyname", "Shutdown Setting", "REG_DWORD", $value)
Exit

Func getUserKey()
  Local $i = 0
  Do
     $i = $i + 1
     $x = RegEnumKey ( "HKEY_USERS", $i)
  Until StringLen($x) > 16 And Not StringInstr($x, "classes")
  Return  "HKEY_USERS\" & $x
EndFunc
