What started out as initial fun and games between my fellow IT colleagues is now becoming somewhat annoying. Is there a way to block:

shutdown /r /m \\computername

from actually shutting my computer down?

shutdown -a

Will abort a shutdown in progress. It might be an idea to create a shortcut or batch file which can be easily found when the shutdown starts.

Check this one at Administrative tools in Control panel.

Here is the whole article.

thanks for that. have accepted the other one as modifying local policy will get changed by the domain policy I believe. Still after a few blocked attempts I hope my colleagues will soon view me as invincible :) – Tim Alexander Aug 19 '10 at 14:48
Oh I thought shutdown -a is not a good solution for you. Well..whatever. :) – Shiki Aug 20 '10 at 7:32

An even better way is to change the admin password on your computer.
