Win2k shutdown from keyboard - can I prevent this?
by Guest George Orwell- 5 replies
- 350 views
When I shutdown Windows 2000 from the start menu, it spends ages shutting down. However, if I press the "Power" key on the keyboards, I see a little alert box saying Windows is shutting down for half a second, the power snuffs out. Yet when I reboot, I don't get scandisk running, as I would expect from such a rapid ending. So is it okay to kill Windows by the keyboard? But I wish to disable the Power key on the keyboard. I went to control panel, and can't find anything under the power or keyboard options.

% Privileged Time is the percentage of non-idle processor time spent in privileged mode. (Privileged mode is a processing mode designed for operating system components and hardware-manipulating drivers. It allows direct access to hardware and all memory. The alternative, user mode, is a restricted processing mode designed for applications, environment subsystems, and integral subsystems. The operating system switches application threads to privileged mode to access operating system services). % Privileged Time includes time servicing interrupts and DPCs. A high rate of privileged time might be attributable to a large number of interrupts generated by a faili…

Terminate running program from .bat file?
by Guest Sid Elbow- 3 replies

I have a keyboard macro program that I have running in the background. Unfortunately, it has some hotkeys that clash with a cad program that I use. Usually (when I remember), I shut down the keyboard program before running the cad but since the cad program is started from a .bat file I wondered whether there was a way to terminate the keyboard program from within that .bat file.

Folder locked as Read Only
by Guest Danno- 11 replies
- 443 views
Somehow I've gotten my Program Files folder marked as Read Only. This of course prevents me from updating data files, or deleting anything under PF. I tried using the properties tab to uncheck RO, but that didn't work. Tried the same thing in safe mode, but it didn't work either. I restored the registry to a time before the problem using ERDNT, but it didn't work either. I tried changing the attributes using CMD, and I booted up in Command mode only. Neither one would let me change the attribute. HELP! Thanks in advance, Dan Hacker W2000ProSP4 -- ----------- Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgott…

Hi There, Since couple of days i have noticed that my system which is running windows 2000 Pro SP4 is running on 98% - 100% cpu usage. And the cause is the winmgmt.exe which is unable to stop by windows. It is creating a lot of problems iam not able to install anything new on the system. I have tired it by disabling the winmgmt serivce but the result is the same not able to install anything on my system. So anyone have any solution about how to fix winmgmt.exe's problem?? Thanks Phahim.
