Seriously, could some personal backup software or maybe other "updater" type software is scheduling the shutdown? Have you looked into any Scheduled Tasks (assuming it's Windows)? Have you studied the Event Logs? There will almost always be an entry there that tells who (or what process) issued the ShutDown command. Hope those help. _____________________________ Don't take you're eye off your final destination. ASP Checkbox Function Tutorial. (in reply to dpf)

box Posts: 117 Joined: 12/10/2002 Status: offline	RE: Workstation shutdowns every day around 5PM!!! - 2/1/2007 16:06:19 OS Windows XP pro After checking logs I noticed every day around 5:00 PM there is a warning: Description: Application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use. This is often caused by service running as a user account,try configuring the service to run in either the localService or NetworkService account. After submitting the warning to Microsoft I got this: Details Product: Windows Operating System Event ID: 1517 Source: Userenv Version: 5.2 Symbolic Name: EVENT_HIVE_SAVED Message: Windows saved user %1 registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use. This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account. Explanation Windows unloads each user's profile and user's section of the registry when the user logs off. This message indicates that Windows could not unload the user's profile because a program was referencing the user's section of the registry. This locked the profile. The registry cannot unload profiles that are locked and in use. When the program that is locking the profile is no longer referencing the registry, the profile will be unloaded.

Have you done the standard Virus and malware checks? It looks like it could be a process that the user installed (either on purpose or inadvertantly or a piece of spyware). One thing I do sometimes is check all the processes running under that particular user account to see if there are any you're unaware or unfamiliar with. Then just Google them (the process name) to see if there is any info on those specific processes. I have been quite sucessful in nailing things down that way. Hope it helps. _____________________________ Don't take you're eye off your final destination. ASP Checkbox Function Tutorial. (in reply to box)
