Registry-Value changes without user-input
Hello NG,
since I have recently reinstalled Windows XP Pro SP3 on a THinkPad X61s-Machine I experience the following problem: when I change the value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Wa itToKillServiceTimeout from 20000 to 2000 (to speed up the shutdown-process), the value has been changed back to 20000 five minutes or one reboot later. Does anybody has an idea why that happens? Might there be any program on the system that changes back that value? Thank you in advance, Jonas ========== List of installed Programs: Windows XP SP3 + Updates until today Norton Antivirus 2009 Microsoft Office 2003 Pro ThinkVantage PowerManager ThinkVantage Harddrive Protection ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software |

(MalwareBytes, SuperAntiSpyware are two decent free programs to do this with - full scans.) Is this a personal system - not joined to any domain? You should be changing the setting in CurrentControlSet. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |
