Slow logoffs

[Robert S]

I have Win2000 with SP3 installed. When I log off it takes several minutes
to get back to the logon prompt.

One suggestion from one of the knowlegebase articles is to install SP3 but
(as you can see), I've already got SP3.

Are there any other ways of fixing this?

goto Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs > Change/Remove Programs
and see if Q329170 is listed as an update if it is remove it.

plus

start > run > gpedit.msc > Computer Configuration> Administrative
Template
System > Logon > Maximum retries to unload and update user
profile ... set
enabled and to say 5 ... default if not configured is 60!!

There appears to be a hotfix available from MS (thanks Neo)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;814770

but you will have to telephone MS to order it.
