I have systems running 98SE and ME and XP that get the message at shutdown
"\\anothercomputer is connected to your computer" etc etc. A fourth
system running XP never gets the warning, causing problems. I can't figure
out where this might have been disabled. I've searched the Knowledge Base
and the newsgroups but I could have used the wrong key words. Any ideas?
 
I've also seen this message, but it only shows up on the win98
machine.

I think the reason is because I have a drive mapped to the win98
machine and when you shut down it lets you know that the "other"
mapped drive is going to be disconnected,

just a thoght, but if I disconnect the mapped drive first I don't get
the message,

It isn't JUST that. You can have had a machine recently access the 98
machine and still have an open session even though, in reality, the machine
accessing the 98 one has finished. At this point the 98 machine will throw
that same message up. You can download Wizmo from www.grc.com and set it up
to use IT to shutdown forcibly. Doing that, any message doesn't matter, it
just shuts down.
 
I'm trying to GET the message, not over-ride. The problem is the user of
this one XP computer shuts down when we need the computer to stay on.

BTW, there are no mapped drives on any of the four computers.
 
I must have been confused thinking one of the XP systems gets the warning
message. It doesn't, And now I find that NT/XP systems never have given
the warning. Found it in the KB.
