Fast shutdown 1

[srenshaw]

Is there a way to change the shutdwon/restart dialog box to make it behave like in XP Pro?

I mean, when I click on shutdown or restart, it will do it without asking me the reason.

I always type some random letter anyway.

Thanks!

If you choose "planned os reconfig" it wont need a comment. You could also use a shutdown command ot tsshutdn. All of these require arguments via command-line.

If the event tracker is of no use to you then you can disable it. To do this, open the Group Policy Object Editor Console. Go to Start > Run…, type gpedit.msc and press OK.

Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System and in the right hand pane, select the “Display Shutdown Event Tracker” setting.

Double Click this setting to open the Properties page. Set it to Disabled.

After you make the change to the Group Policy, open the Command Prompt and run the gpupdate /force command to refresh the policy and have your settings be applied straight away. Alternatively you can just restart the machine.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark
