Re: Turn off prompt after reboot

Is there anyway to turn off Windows 2003's obnoxious prompt for "why did your system reboot"? I need to have our servers boot and login as administrator to run some third party applications. We lock the screen after login so the security concern of someone getting to the console is not a problem.

I don't have a problem with the shutdown prompt, just the startup prompt.

The only prompt at startup I'm aware of is actually the shutdown prompt coming up because it didn't get a reason at shutdown (eg you pull the plug) -- what's the Window title of your obnoxious prompt?

The shutdown prompt is disbaled via Group / Local Policy -- Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / System / Display Shutdown Event Tracker -- you could try disabling it and see if that fixes your problem.
