I periodically get a messasge "other people are logged on to your computer; shutting down will cause them to lose their information" "Do you still want to shutdown?" I get this message when I shut down both my computers which happened to be LANed. Does anyone know if this is common? It strikes me as an unusual message.

This will happen if you have "Fast User Switching" enabled and more than one user has locally "logged on" to the computer. If when you Click the Start button and then click Log Off, you are given the options either to "Switch User" or "Log Off," you have Fast User Switching enabled.
