Start menu power button defaults

Hello all, I know how to change the behaviour of the start menu power button in Control Panel > Power Options etc. in Vista, but is there a way to set it so that it will default to Shut Down for all users, i.e. a registry hack or a group policy setting? Many thanks in advance...

If you are looking to change the default Sleep to Shut Down, this may be what you're looking for... http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/68146-power-button.html

Hi, thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay in following up - no I understand what the tutorial says, I wanted to know if you can set the Start menu power button to always default to Shut Down for anyone who logs onto the machine, even for new user accounts (domain or local). I thought there might be something to tweak in the registry or a policy which could be set, but as yet have not found anything. Thanks for looking though.
