FWIW, there's a registry key of use here: HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Desktop\AutoEndTasks if this value is set to "1", then processes get hard killed during a logoff. In other words, the "Wait, End Task, Cancel" box should never show up once this value is set. If you want this to work for an existing user, change HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\etc etc instead of HKEY_USERS\Control Panel\etc etc Cheers, John -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
