I've got a shortcut on the desktop to shutdown the computer (linked to
shutdown.exe, as it's more convenient and simpler to use than the Start
Menu), and it works pretty well, but something puzzles me.
For some strange reason, it has been logging the shutdown process under the
name "USER32" (in System Event Viewer), unlike anything else listed in
there. Why isn't it under the normal ownership name of Service Control
Manager like everything else?
I think this "change" in "apparent ownership" happened some time ago (around
9/14) when I was trying to clean up the Tray Notify Icon Streams and Past
Icon Streams in the registry by deleting those two keys, so they'd get
cleanly rebuilt on reboot. (thereby removing some of the old junk left in
there from the past; doing so also removes past items from the Notification
Area).
Is there a way to change the shutdown ownership back to what I think its
supposed to be (i.e, used to be as I recall), e.g: Service Control Manager,
instead of this weird USER32 thing? I mean, I'm the only user and am
automatically logged in as such, on this XP Home computer, so I don't think
there should be a USER32 entry here.
