Any time I try to turn off my computer I have this window message:
" other people are logged on to this computer. Turning off might cause them
to lose data. Do you want to continue" ?
What should I do?

Log them off by logging on as them, then log off as them. Do this one by
one for all of the " other people " that are logged on. If their
Accounts are password protected, you'll need their passwords to log on.
How many other people use your computer ? If no one else, then you may
have unwanted visitors :

Mow;
Or do what I do.
Open Windows Task Manager, Users tab.
Then log off other users.
Easier than logging into each user.

That's too easy. Besides, just who *are* the other Users logged on to
the system?

My wife and kids do not always log off.
At least Task Manager specifies who is logged on.

To install items from Windows Update, you must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure. CaptainJack Windows Update 2 04-15-2004 01:11 PM
