Start -> Shut Down -> Log Out

[prev] [thread] [next] [lurker] [Date index for 2006/07/10]

Can anyone think of a more asinine proceedure for logging out? Not only is
it completely unintuitive, but the very way it operates is hateful.

I have this particular Win2k box I log into once a week or so via RDC. About
a month ago I had to reboot the box, after it had been up for months. So of
course, when I follow my normal log out proceedure, everything goes as 
planned until I get to the Log Out phase. Because I've previously rebooted,
Windows assumes I want to reboot again. Never mind that in over a year of
operation I've logged out 50 or 60 times and rebooted maybe 5 or 6 times.

Granted, WinXP and 2003 get this better, and admittedly I could use the
logout option in the start menu itself that can be enabled, but that action
isn't burned into muscle memory from years of hitting Win, u, enter every
time I wanted to log out.
