End Program Windows when Logging Off

[Guest]

When I log off either a user account or the adminstrator account the
following series of End Program windows pop up and requires that I click the
End Now button before the window will progress to the next window.
End Program-Dummy Mixer Callback Window
End Program-GDI+Window
End Program-DelayedWnd
End Program-DVDLauncher
End Program-ccApp
End Program-ccApp.exe
End Program-GhostTray.exe
End Program-##VSO###OASCLIENT##
End Program-Dot1XCfg.exe
End Program-Gsm Event Window
End Program-McAgent_Maine_Hidden_Window
End Program-##VSO###MCVSSHLD##
End Program-ESCAN_05C7FDBC-A2CA-44ec-A1A...
End Program-McLspAsync Window
End Program-McAfee Personal Firewall Plus Alert
End Program-McLspAsync Window
End Program-MainWindow
End Program-MPS_1_0_MonitorsWndClass
End Program-GDWH
End Program-kmw_run.exe
End Program-explorer.exe

How do I remedy this problem so Windows XP Professional will log off in an
automatic manner?

Try this...

Read the instructions at the top.
76. Right hand side
Auto End Tasks to Enable a Proper Shutdown

shutdown.reg is the file you want.

Reboot after you have merged the shutdown.reg file.

shutdown.reg does the following:

* Sets ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 0.
If ClearPageFileAtShutdown is set to 1, shutdown takes a *long* time.

* Sets AutoEndTasks to 1.
Processes end automatically. The system does *NOT* wait until the process
ends, and, the process will *NOT* take more time than the value of the
HungAppTimeout entry, the End Task dialog box does *NOT* appear, stating
that the application cannot respond to the End Task request.

* Sets WaitToKillServiceTimeout to 1000 (1 second).
Determines how long the system waits for services to stop after notifying
the service that the system is shutting down. The Default value is 20000
(20 seconds).

Thanks for the suggested solution. Unfortunately the problem continues to
exist. The problem occurs when logging off the current user to switch to
another user. The problem does not occur when shutdown is chosen and then
either the computer is shutdown or rebooted.

Windows XP Pro is running on a recently acquired Inspiron|E1505 with a dual
core processor. I was using XP Pro on a Dell 8200 for 3 years prior to this
with multiple users and never experienced this problem.

btw, when I attempted to use the links provided in the email notification of
your response, the "Read and Rate" link resulted in my browser indicating the
page I requested is not availalbe. The "continue receiving notifications"
link resulted in an error in Outlook that required in to be shut down.

What "Read and Rate" link?

The only link that I included was
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

If you clicked on this one
it should open in Outlook Express.

Jerry,

Why are you running both Norton AntiVirus, (ccapp & ccapp.exe) and MacAfee?

McAgent_Main_Hidden_Window = mcagent.exe, part of McAfee Virus Scan.

##VSO###MCVSSHLD## = mcvsshld or mcvsshld.exe part of McAfee Virus Scan.

McLspAsync Window something from McAfee.
