Guest simonc Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I made some temporary changes to various security settings for a particular purpose and know there is a danger I'll forget to reset them afterwards. Is there any way you can get a reminder/task to run whenever you try to log off/shut down which would prompt you to reset them? Grateful for ideas.

All you then have to do is restore back to this point to restore normallity. If you want to set yourself a reminder to do this, then just create a .txt file with the reminder text and move it to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup The text file will auto open in Notepad next time you startup and log in to any account.
Guest Salvador Manaois III Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 RE: Run task before logging off? You can implement a logoff or shutdown script that restores the settings you have modified. Use Startup, Shutdown, Logon, and Logoff Scripts: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775970.aspx Setting up Login/Logoff, Startup/Shutdown Scripts (refer to Scripts): http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742376.aspx#EHAA -- Salvador Manaois III MCSE MCSA CEH MCITP | Enterprise/Server Admin Bytes & Badz : http://badzmanaois.blogspot.com "simonc" wrote: > I made some temporary changes to various security settings for a particular > purpose and know there is a danger I'll forget to reset them afterwards.
