Unable to unload registry file at log off on 2k

Recommended Posts

When logging off windows get to the 'saving your settings' screen and just appears to sit there for ages doing nothing.. after about a minute it completes the operation and shows the log-on screen as normal.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The event log states:

 

Source: Userenv

Event ID: 1000

User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

 

Windows cannot unload your registry file. If you have a roaming profile, your settings are not replicated. Contact your administrator.

 

DETAIL - Access is denied. , Build number ((2195)).

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

how do i grant permissions to the system to allow a normal speed shutdown? Failing that, is there any way to reduce the timeout period for windows to save its settings? (I don;t mind filling the event log with alerts as i clean it out once per session anyway).

For windows 2000 this is how you would decrease the time of shutdown:

Regedt32.exe) and locate the following Registry subkey in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control

On the Edit menu, click Add Value

Enter the following:

Value Name: WaitToKillServiceTimeout

Data Type: REG_SZ

String:<In milli-seconds; default is 20,000> NOTE : Try not to increase the shut-down time too much, but you can decrease it if you don't care about it saving settings.
