| After upgrading our Windows 2000 PC's to Office 2003, occasionally after
| working with any Office application Windows won't log off or shut down
unless
| the CTFMON process is ended. I've tried removing CTFMON as per the
| instructions in the KB but it doesn't seem to remove the process. We
don't
| use any advanced text services.
|
| Does anyone have a fix for this?
|
| I'd prefer not to use the last MAPS life : D
