The commands are hard coded inside
\WINDOWS\System32\user32.dll

To change the action when pressing the Log Off button you need to find
the code inside of user32.dll and change it.

ExitWindowsEx(int uFlags, int dwReason)

Log Off: ExitWindowsEx(0, 0)
Log Off: ExitWindowsEx(4, 0) (force processes to terminate while
logging off)
Reboot: ExitWindowsEx(2, 0)
Shutdown: ExitWindowsEx(1, 0)

This is a fun challenge, if you need more info tell me where to start.
Do you know how to mod a dll, etc.?
