Windows – How to hide “Log Off” button Windows 2008 R2

group-policywindowswindows-server-2008

I have created a Standard user and disabled the "Switch User/Lock" from registry with the followings :

  1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer [StartMenuLogOff=1]

  2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System [HideFastUserSwitching=1]

  3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System [DisableLockWorkstation=1]

These are working fine.

but still "log off" button enabled.

I tried this one
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced [StartMenuLogoff=1]

but no luck.

Please let me know how can I disable it.

Thanks,
Laxmilal Menaria

You can do this via Group Policy (local or global):

Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Start Menu and Taskbar \ Remove Logoff on the Start Menu
