XP Log off very slow - only for the administrator

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I have XP SP2 installed and currently two accounts: an adminstrator and a
limited
The limited account runs the same programs as the main account. However, the
former has a 5 seconds log off while the latter spends almost 2-4 minutes to
log off ( computer hangs on "Saving your settings...")
I have read a dozen articles on this issue. Non of them solved my problem. I
have no pagefile clear setting or other causes to be conserned of.

This is an overview of my System:
---
- Windows XP PS2 - with the latest updates
- MSSql Server 2000 - Personal
- .NET Framework 1.1 * ASP.NET
- VS 2003
- McAfee Security center 8.0
- IIS 5.1
---
CPU: Intel 2.4 Celeron
786 MBs of RAM
Radeon 7000 VE
------------------------------------

Thanks for any help

Hi try this to see if it helps. In Control Panel | Administrative Tools |
Services, stop the Terminal Services service and Event log service. (You can
also get this by launching SERVICES.MSC from a Run box.) To disable the
Terminal Services, launch the Services console as detailed above, and disable
Terminal Services (right-click on Terminal Services, click Properties, click
stop, and under Startup Type select “Disabled”).
To disable the Event Log, launch the Services console as detailed above, and
disable Event Log (right-click on Event Log, click Properties, click stop,
and under Startup Type select “Disabled”).
Let me know if this helped you. I always like helping people. Let me know
what happends. Thanks

I manually solved this problem by comparing all possible differences between
the accounts on my computer. The cause of this were three user variables in
my account that had the problem:

path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield
Include: C:\Visual_Studio_Net\SDK\v1.1\include\
LIB: C:\Visual_Studio_Net\SDK\v1.1\Lib\

After deleting these, the logoff time is only 5 seconds, judt like the good
old past.
This might be a help to anyone that has the same problem on windows xp.

Thanks for the help. I had tried them and they didn't solve my problem in
anyway. However, i have done something else, now can log off in less than 5
seconds!

If it comes back, check the size of your profile. I had one user that
was using FireFox 1.0.4 and had a 497MB profile while none of the other
users, also using FF 1.0.4, had large profiles. It would take her
several minutes to login/logout each time....

Once I had her logout of all the stations, I could manually delete the
files from the profile and she was good to go.

Its coming back!!
Yeah...
My user profile is about: 132MB while others are all less than 20MB and it
is only "mine" that takes minutes to logoff. Tell me how exactly i can
reduce it.

Thanks in advace.
