saving settings

[chris]

I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this problem?
When a user signs out of windows 2000 a dialog box pops up
saying saving settings. On some of our users accounts
when they sign out it takes about 5 minutes for windows to
complete this process. I am wondering if there is a way
to shorten this time? For most of our users it only takes
about 20 seconds for windows 2000 to save the settings.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance for the help
Chris

There appears to be a hotfix available from MS (thanks Neo)

I must be following a good man. I just read the post right before yours and
thought about you being the fellow that told me about changing the number of trys
in Group Policies. I'm getting. I would say, great minds think alike, but it does
sound right being singular, and I'd have to leave meself out. LOL

Dang it, had two Debugs on the site
if( d.body.clientWidth < 300 || d.body.clientHeight < 300 )
And it said both were on line 37.
( then I got into a fight with SpyBot, when it loaded

I thought you'd be on a snow board.
