Guest Brandon Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 I have a user that when she clicks shut down at the end of the day, it takes several minutes before her choices of shut down appear (i.e. logoff, restart, standby, shut down) and this also locks up the system till this menu appears. When it does appear and she selects shut down the system takes a very long time to actually shut off. Any suggestions as to what might cause something like this?
Guest Newbie Coder Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Re: Click Shut Down, Long Delay Brandon, Does it also take a long time for her to logon too? Local or Roaming profile? What applications are open?

Guest Brandon Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Re: Click Shut Down, Long Delay No, it does not take her any longer then normal to login, local profile, when she goes to shut down she already has all applications closed. She is one of the accounting gurus so she closes and saves everything before she shuts down.

Guest Brandon Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Re: Click Shut Down, Long Delay That would have been what I would have done first but this is a brand new PC, in fact the first brand new PC we gave her was having the same problems so we gave her a different brand new PC and this one's experiencing the same issues. This also only happens while she is using her docking station. When she is at home and just using it on her wireless network or as a stand alone PC these problems go away. Should have mentioned that before this, sorry.

Guest Newbie Coder Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Re: Click Shut Down, Long Delay Nass, The user hive pofile tool is to clean up redundant profiles to speed up logon & not saving setting on shutdown File monitor isn't any good either. There is such a control called the FolderSystemWatcher which would tell you the read/writes/changes to the given directory -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "nass" <nass@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D207AC29-DBD7-405E-8813-8A9207042C6A@microsoft.com... > > User Profile Hive Cleanup Service > http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=1B286E6D-8912-4E18-B570-42470E2F3582&displaylang=en > FileMon for Windows v7.04 > By Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell > http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/filemon.mspx > HTH. > nass > ------ > http://www.nasstec.co.uk > > "Brandon" wrote: > > > No, it does not take her any longer then normal to login, local profile, when > > she goes to shut down she already has all applications closed.
