re: ''Saving Your Settings'' takes one minute on logout Wednesday, April 2, 2003 at 3:25 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by richard (1 messages posted) SAVING YOUR SETTINGS Start -> Run -> "gpedit.msc" In Group Policy window go to: Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Logon Double-click "Maximum retries to unload and update user profile". Check "Enable" radio button. Set Max. Retries from 60(default) to a lower value. I set it to 2 and it works like a charm. Windows shuts down in a few seconds. My guess is that NAV 2003 has some naughty service in the background that Windows was trying to close for 60 times before shutting down. Thank you for help everyone.
