Customize "Logoff" button action
Hey,
I've looked all over the internet for about 2,5 days, but no succesful answer: Is there any possible way to change the action behind the "Logoff" button? We have to do this because we are serving serveral virtual windows XP desktops; Users connect to the desktop using RDP, so, there is the "Shut down" button not available. We want, when a user logs off the virtual machine, that the machine logs off and restart again. (to remove changes to the drive using Steady State). We have tried to do this with a logoff script, but that is not working (the shutdown -r -t 00 process is killed by the logoff process.) Thanks, |

Customize "Logoff" button action
The commands are hard coded inside
\WINDOWS\System32\user32.dll To change the action when pressing the Log Off button you need to find the code inside of user32.dll and change it. ExitWindowsEx(int uFlags, int dwReason) Log Off: ExitWindowsEx(0, 0) Log Off: ExitWindowsEx(4, 0) (force processes to terminate while logging off) Reboot: ExitWindowsEx(2, 0) Shutdown: ExitWindowsEx(1, 0) This is a fun challenge, if you need more info tell me where to start. Do you know how to mod a dll, etc.? ju.c "Sem Craeghs" wrote in message ...

Thanks, You could create a shortcut on the desktop to the shutdown.exe file and modify the paramaters used in the target box on the general properties page of the shortcut. I used to use this trick to force an older machine I had installed XP on to shutdown at a specified time. HTH |

Of course not. Are there some alternatives? Good luck! Modding the dll is the easiest way. Just change ExitWindowsEx(0, 0) to ExitWindowsEx(2, 0) ju.c "Sem Craeghs" wrote in message ...

I also have the need for a user to Reboot when the Logoff button is press or selected, what do I use to edit the .dll? I can see the some info with ResHacker but not the "ExitWindowsEx(0, 0)" I am trying to do this on a Xp Pro box.
