That path below is not completely correct. The path should be:
 
User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Internet 
Explore/Browser menus/"File menu:
Disable closing the browser and Explorer windows"
 
Totally freaky, but it points out that even those of us who spend our days 
buried in GP find new things out daily. Still I think it would be problematic 
to enable this unless you are also tightly controlling which processes the user 
can start. For example, this policy makes total sense in a kiosk environment 
where you only start an instance of IE instead of the Explorer shell. I think 
its very problematic in a wide open environment where the user can start lots 
of IE and Explorer instances but can never close any of them.

Took me a while, but here it is:

User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Browser menus/"File menu:
Disable closing the browser and Explorer windows"
