Re: Autodisconnect does not hold

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

The XP one has now stuck for about 4 days now. But has not been shut down once. I just cannot get the setting to stick in Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP3. The last post in response to Jerold I reset it again. And just now again it has changed back to ffff. It will not stick at what I set it to.

I'd like the setting for autodisconnect to be ffffffff to persist. But it will not. It is always reverting back to the default ffff. Always. On the Windows 2000 Server SP4 it is now ...yup reverts back there too it is now ffff. I will set it back to ffffffff but like I said before the value does not persist in Windows 2000. I could check the Professional but I don't have a monitor hooked up to it to be quick about it but I suspect it also has reverted back to the defualt.

Seems to me just changing this value in the registry is NOT sufficient. Something more needs to be done to make the chosen value persist. Please try it in your Windows 2000 and check it in a few days. I suspect you will notice this behavior.

I set it at the time I wrote this post originally. I will look again. There is one thing though that has been happening that may explain it. I have not shut down these machines gracefully for quite some time. But they have shut down at least 5 times this summer due to Power Outages. It might be the setting hasn't stuck because the machines have not shut down gracefully everytime I set them. But I will look again now...nope it has changed back.
