Disable Windows 2003 Shutdown Event Tracker

Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2005 7:53 AM
Okay the right name for the “Enter Reason” dialog is - “Shutdown Event Tracker”.

If you're like me, and use Windows 2003 on your desktop, chances are that you may find that dialog box that pops up after every hardboot or at every restart/shutdown only slightly annoying.

Here is how to disable that.

Start->Run type “gpedit.msc” .. hit Enter.

Go to Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System ->

In there find “Display Shutdown Event Tracker”, double click and choose “Disabled”.

WALLA !! :-)

And oh yeah, there's tonnes of other stuff there too.

Thanks Sahil.
 
I once knew how to do this but I forgot. So this time I'm posting it on my blog for future reference.
