Thank you for another useful guide.
Great, nice tips, thank you.
Great work, Arris! Thank you!
Does anyone know how to do this in WS08 R2? I cannot see the appropriate settings in the Group Policy Editor or the registry. Many thanks.
Arris: There is a Windows Server 2008 R2 Manual too! Anyway, here is the link to the R2 version of this article. 😉
Thanks! That sure was very annoying.
great great, thanx a lot !
🙂
Great, and easy-to-follow solution to an irritating problem (especially when using Windows 2008 in multiple VM’s.) Many thanks!
Arris: I’m glad you like it! 😉 Thanks for your comment. 🙂
How do I find this Local Group Policy option from the GUI. I am trying to find the main logic behind this Server OS but is everything configured by remembering these .msc configs by heart?
Arris: Most of the .msc’s can be found in the Administrative Tools group in the Control Panel, but I don’t know how to get to the Local Group Policy using the GUI without going to the %windir%system32 directory, sorting on type and scrolling to the Microsoft Common Console Document type.
Thanks…
Hey Now Arris,
This is a good one too.
Thx 4 the info,
Catto
Thankyou very much for giving guide line
There is a side effect on my laptop when the tracker is disabled: when I press the shutdown button, the computer shuts down immediately without any questions. Not very convenient either…
Arris: If I remember it well, Vista also has this behavior when clicking at the shutdown button.
Need to be an administrator to do this (if you created and usually use a ‘standard’ account)
Thanks. Yours was the first suggestion that was correct.
thx
As reghack:
