      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.
