Couldn't agree more, especially after an install, where you're installing drivers etc. or setting up AD - the kind of thing that requires several reboots in a short period of time.

There's a .reg tweak. Look in gpedit.msc there may be an option in there. Don't have .NET in front of me right now so can't help.

You can use Group Policy. Open gpedit.msc, and navigate to Computer
Configuration, Administrative Templates, System, Display Shutdown Event
Tracker.
