Well it was just a thought...I have to admit I normally remove it. I am
however impressed how educational Gilligan's Island show is...

No. It's like the Gilligan's Island episode where the crew thinks that a
map that has washed up onto shore gives directions on how to get off the
island. After unsuccessful attempts to leave the island via the map, the
Professor realizes that the people who made this map read from right to
left, and so in fact it is a map on how to get ON TO the island. They
proved you simply can't reverse the directions to get the opposite
result.
Exact same thing here.

Wouldn't it be a matter of reversing the removal instructions?

On a different note, any idea on how to add the Disconnect
option to the start menu? There are tons of articles on how to remove
it, but nothing to add it.

You can put a new icon called "Log Off" using the same icon as
the default Windows button icon and have it associated with a script on
the start menu, but you can't put it in the same location as Logoff is
right now? Is it a start menu icon re-ordering issue?
EzyWin will let you put what you want wherever you want on the
start menu.

How is it different than the logoff.exe that's already
part of Windows 2003? I can put together a script, I just can't
replace/modify the current 2003 logoff button.. I can hide it, but can't
pin a new one to the menu.

You are confused... on that page is a file called
Logoff.zip it is an executable that runs the logoff process. You can
run this file in your script.

Hey Alex,
I will pipe in since Joe and I are
working on the same project. That was our next step. However, the
customer wants the logoff and disconnect (not shutdown in this case)
icons to appear exactly as the do with the standard Start Menu items.
After doing some research, we have not found a way to hack the existing
icons, or, put replacement icons in the same place. When you delve into
the system controlled portion of the Start Menu you end up going down a
rabbit hole in which nothing is at it seems anymore !!

Joe,
Why don't you remove Logoff and Shutdown
from the start menu, then replace them with shortcuts to a script(s)
that handles your app then shuts the machine down or logs the user off?

It a published desktop Also, it is a
script that is running, the problem is when users select logoff Windows
closes the script before it closes the application it launches. I need
windows to close the application first and wait for the script to
complete.

Publish a wrapper script that starts
your app, then closes it. That way, Windows is terminating your wrapper
script.

Subject: [THIN] Logoff scripts...
Hello,
Does anyone know how to change the
logoff process? It seems that W2k3 terminates the applications then
runs the logoff script. I need to run a logoff script first in order to
shutdown an application in the proper order. If I let W2k3 terminate
the application, it shutdown incorrectly.
Any ideas?
Joe
