There are many reason that might cause windows to take very long time to befor it shutdown:
1. Your computer might run alot of service in the background which require an operating system to stop during the process of shutting down the computer.
2. If your computer connect to the network, make sure that are there any mapped network drive which require you synchronize offline file to the server. Synchronize file period might take time based on the file size and the number of the file.
3. If you have share any resource on the network, make sure how many session that other user access to your file or resource. Windows need to close all of those session before it shutdown.
Hope that these idea could help you to solve the problem.

It has got only 8 to 10 services running in the background. Nothing else. Not even the anti virus is running.

Not connected to any network.

No shared resource either.
Don't know what is this "saving your settings" dialog doing. No hard disk activity. Nothing but still it saves. lol.

This word remind me in the past. I used to work with windows xp pro, it is working normally after installation. But after I install MCAFEE 6.0, it has a problem. The problem is the same to you while windows is shutting down. The saving setting dialog still appear on the screen and the computer didn't shutdown. After I decide to remove MCAFEE 6 and use anti-virus from other vendor. The computer is working fine. I can't say that the problem is cause from MCAFEE because i don't found any error message that indicate about the problem.

want an .exe app to run after booting autometically? how can i do that other than saving the .exe in the startup?

The other spot to run it from is in the Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
This will only run when someone logs in. If you want something to run at Windows startup, regardless if someone is logged in or not, you'll have to convert your .EXE to a service somehow. That's IF it'll even run as a service.

You can use Schedule Task to run your program and specify it to run automatically when your computer is start, or when you log on to windows.

I got "DISK READ ERROR OCCURED" im my Laptop..Wats the problem in it??
|
|
|
|

Depending on the exact circumstances, it could mean one of many things:
bad floppy disk
bad hard drive
bad CD drive
failed floppy disk controller
failed hard disk controller
dirty CD drive (clean the lens)
loose power connection or low battery
corrupted sectors on a hard or floppy disk
scratched CD
A lot more detail about the problem is required, but these are a few things you can check out.

If this error message appear during the time that you start your computer, make sure that there is not floopy disk, CDROM and flash drive and other booting device... are inserted in its drive. And try to boot again, if an error still appear, it might cause from your hard disk drive.
If this error message appear during you run windows, make sure that you perform any action on the disk (such as floopy disk, CDROM...) or not. If so, make sure that the disk (floopy, CDROM) surface is cleaned.

I have a user with a problem with his sent items folder in Outlook XP. The problem is some how the folder has been moved to the trash bin of his personal folders file and Outlook prevents me from moving it anywhere else. Any Ideas?
Thanks In Advance,
John

Have you tried scanpst.exe (The Inbox Repair Tool) to repair the pst file?
(scanpst.exe is in the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033" folder or search your hard drive.)

Hello,
I’m making a windows script in order to trigger a net send to several users when a service is stopped. So far I’ve accomplished this, but the problem is that only the computers within my domain receive the message, computers “outside” my domain don’t receive the message.
Is there any workaround this? I mean, is it possible to use net send in order to send messages to several computers in several different domains?
(I’ve checked that the messenger service is started in the computers to whom I’m sending the message)
Best regards,
Nuno Pedro

NET SEND also has a /DOMAIN:domainName switch.
You'll have to call NET SEND for each domain you want to send the message to.

From what I've seen net send /DOMAIN:XXX, sends a message to all the computers in that domain. What I want is to send the message only to a few computers on the domain.
Imagine this situation: 3 users in 2 differente domains
User1@DomainA
User3@DomainB
How can user1 send a message to user3? Is this possible using net send?

Yikes, I thought that's what you were doing.
AFAIK, NET SEND will only let you target users in the sending machines domain. Or, broadcast to entire other domain or users of a specific server. It won't let you send to specific users in other domains. There is no work around for this other than using a different messaging app, Windows Messaging.

Hello,
Must I create a new Password Reset Disk every time I change my password?
Regarding Windows XP Professional.
Thanks,
Rich S.

Not really. There's a slew of utilities out there that will let you reset the password on any account without having the Administrator password.
This[^] is one I use a lot around my shop.
ERD Commander[^] is another one.

It is a good idea to do this method. You can also use third party utilities to reset password. If the utility is free, it is fine. But if the utilities is not free, then you have to pay for that software to rescue your system.

I thought I would ask this question here for some help.
I started to delete entries for "Winlogon.EXE" from my registry due to Ad/Spyware/virus on my machine (WinXP Media Center Ed, SP1).
What is the correct entry(entries) for this and where can I get the REAL winlogon.exe for my XP system?
Thanks,
Johnny

I believe that a repair installation of WIndows XP might replace the file.
If I was you, I would backup my data and reinstall the whole system, though. Its just not worth the time spent searching for all the crap that malware installs.
I always have a HDD-image ready, along with a Knoppix-CD, to simply "reinstall" my OS, drivers and all the apps/tools that I need. I usually only have 3 or 4 apps to reinstall after that.
Cheers,
Sebastian
