There is a registry setting for turning on shutdown messages, but I cannot
find a reference to it on the web. Can someone point me to it?

Thanks,

For XP Pro, click Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC Go to:

Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System, Verbose vs. normal
status messages. Double click this option and set it to Enabled.

For XP Home:

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system

Look in the right pane for a value called VerboseStatus. If it exists,
double click this value and set it to 1. If it doesn't exist, right click
in a blank area of the right pane and select New, DWord value. Name it
VerboseStatus and change its value to 1.
