The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you log off or shutdown a Windows NT computer while 16-bit Windows- based
networking applications are running, a dialog box with the application's name in
the title bar appears stating that the Windows application cannot respond to the
End Task request. The dialog presents three choices: Wait, End Task, and Cancel.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs when the application time-out due to heavy network traffic.
RESOLUTION
==========
You can configure Windows NT so that it closes the application by default,
instead of displaying the dialog box. To do so:
1. Install the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.5.
2. Add one of the following keys to the registry under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER
subtree:
\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP\HUNGAPPTIMEOUT
After an application times-out, any you choose the Task List End Task button,
the dialog box is displayed.
\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP\WAITTOKILLAPPTIMEOUT
After a log off or shutdown command is issued, and an application times-out,
the dialog is displayed.
\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP\AUTOENDTASKS
Any non-zero value causes End Task to automatically be selected; the dialog
box is not displayed.
STATUS
======
