zedox Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hey guys, I've briefly searched so please don't flame me...What is the registry key that disables the prompt...Other people are logged on to this compter. Shutting down windows might cause them to lose data. Do you want to continue shutting down? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T D Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 You can't disable via the registry to my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeshi Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Looking at it from another angle, why don't you disable fast user switching, or why not just shutdown the PC before you sleep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedox Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 haha... good points.Normally I can sleep with it on. Anyway I have the Zalman silent water cooler, might get the Antec phantom 500 then the pc won't make any noise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedox Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) Needless to say turned off fast user switching, but I have secure screen saver...So if the screen saver activates, I have to log back in to shut down.There must be a way to stop this message?!

zedox Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 I decided to use RegMon to watch what happens when I hit the power button and discovered that Winlogon.exe was attempting to query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\ShutdownWarningDialogTimeout After searcing on google and getting no results I set the value to dword:0 and tried to shutdown and nothing happened then I set the value to dword:1 and the server shut down almonst instantly when I pushed the power button.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]"ShutdownWarningDialogTimeout"=dword:00000001This value specifies how long (I think in milliseconds) a user will be warned that other users are using a computer when attempting a shutdown 0=indefinateKey shutdownWarningDialogTimeout doesnt exist...So I created it as a dword and set the value to 1.Still no change...

zedox Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 I ran regmon, there are loads of querys on winlogon.exe but nothing for that key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T D Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Maybe it's not winlogon? But maybe crss or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezalel Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I ran regmon, there are loads of querys on winlogon.exe but nothing for that key?Everything I did was on Windows 2003. Windows XP might work differently. The fact that the key isn't documented doesn't seem to help.Try enabling Remote Desktop. I think this key was implemented for Terminal Server so it might have to be runnung for the key to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedox Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 I do have remote desktop enabled.Ah man, am I gonna find a way around this!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
