WINXP SP2 Log Off times

[stevescottys]

Greetings all....

I have a new machine that is p4ht 3ghz, and 512MB ram.......anyway it takes too long to log off....about 1 1/2 minutes....is there something I can do to see what is going on when I am logging off so that I can speed up the process.

Thanks

It might be a hung application. XP is generous in the time it gives an application to close before forcing a close. There are some registry values you can adjust to change the default behavior:

Some research for you.

UphClean Readme.txt has some logging ideas.
