You could label a 3rd party app button "Exit" and have it
start a browser pointed to:

On second thought, you'd better not do that.
Now for a serious option: CARL has a driver file that
prevents you from using CTRL+ALT+ESC to bring up the Start
button and choose Shut down. At HPL, we use an older
version of that driver that suppresses CTRL+ALT+DEL, CTRL+ESC,
and ALT+TAB, but not CTRL+ALT+ESC. We use that key combination
to bring up the start button and choose Shut down from there for
a clean shutdown.
The problem is that this key combination also brings up the
Taskbar, but under the security measures we have here we
don't regard that as a problem.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to email me for more
details.
