other users loged on, prompt ?

Single machine Running xp pro, cable modem, virus protection and when I go
to shut down I get other users logged on prompt.

How would I go about investigating the cause of this ?

It means you were logged on, and left the machine,
and it went back to the login screen. The Other user
is you. No biggie. Just some more annoying Microsoft
Jargon.

Someone is connected to your open shares. Get a firewall.

Not in XP. He's just seeing himself logged on from
the user screen.

I have many XP Pro machines, are you running in Fast Switch mode -
meaning that you have a nice window that lets other users logon when you
have not logged out yet?

If there are no other local accounts currently logged on to your
computer, then it's someone accessing it across the internet, which is a
BAD thing.

You are quite correct. Apparently, XP doesn't inform you if someone
has open files on your computer when you decide to shutdown.
I stand corrected.

yes, it does. If you have a Windows XP Professional computer, and users
are making active use of the shares, then you shut-down you get a
warning. I've seen in many times.

Only if he has activated "sharing" .. which he has not, or
he would not be asking this question. XP doesn't share
anything by default, and why would anybody open
shares over a modem .. or a dsl ? In any event, he can
look at any connections in Administrative Tools ..
Sessions, and see if somebody has attached.

If you have auditing turned on yes.

START/SETTINGS/CONTROL PANEL/ADMINSTRATIVE TOOLS/LOCAL SECURITY POLICY/LOCAL
POLICIES/AUDIT POLICY

There's probably a quicker way to get there, but that's what I use. Have a
look at the different types of logging options available.

Cordially,
