A previous admin created a GPO setting that removed the shutdown option from the start menu of machines in various OUs. I am trying to do some testing on a machine using RDP, and for some reason, it, also, does not have a shut down option on the start menu. I need to be able to shutdown via RDP. I have scoured our GPO looking for where I can add this option. I have move the machine to its own OU and verified that User Configuration / Administrative Templates / Start Menu and Taskbar does NOT have the "Remove and Prevent Shut Down" option enabled. I have also used gpedit on the local machine to set this option to Disabled. I have rebooted the machin…

Windows XP tends to redetect printers and add them over and over again, resulting in many duplicates of the same printer name. Is there a way to disable detection of new printers, or revert to the original printer if it is unplugged and reinserted? I would also like to disable addition of printers altogether, unless the admin enables to allow printers to be installed, even for Administrator accounts. Is there some way to do this? /vfclists

I keep getting a Windows Security message that Automatic Updates for XP is disabled: 'click on this balloon to fix'. But nothing happens when I try to do this -- I get the window, and the box to tick for auto update, but it won't register. Strangely, when I check on Auto Update in my Control Panel, it shows as 'on' but I can't get rid of this possibly spurious Security warning. Any measures I can take?

Hello, I work in a Windows 2003 domain environment, and we have 100 Windows XP clients. Using WSUS we have successfully upgraded a number of the client PCs, but have now discovered that many have them have developed printing problems with PDF and Office documents. It is taking about six minutes for the print dialog window to appear. As suggested by Microsoft, we have changed the settings for printers on our Windows 2003 print server so that print jobs are printed directly rather than spooled, and have done the following on the clients: 1. Click "Start", go to "Run", and type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in the open box to start the Sys…

Windows XP x64: The problem started 2 days after a new system install. After installing some programs and numerous updates. BOOM!!! The windows installer was not working even though the service appeared to be running. Followed the advise at MS KB and eventually tried re-installing installer. It is now not even showing up under Services. I can not install any programs and even one critical Windows update will not install. Appreciate any help.
