Microsoft® Windows Embedded Standard (WES) 2009 for HP Thin Clients Quick Reference Guide

Logging Off, Restarting, and Shutting Down the Thin
Client
To restart, shut down, or log off from the thin client, click Start > Shut Down. From the Shut Down
dialog box, select the desired action, and then click OK.
NOTE: You may also log off or shut down using the Windows Security dialog box. Press Ctrl+Alt
+Delete to open the dialog box.
If automatic logon is enabled, when you log off (without shutting down), the thin client immediately logs
on the pre-defined User account set up in Windows Login Configuration. For instructions for logging on
as a different user, see
Logging On on page 7.
The following utilities are affected by logging off, restarting, or shutting down the thin client:
●
Write Filters on page 9
●
Power Management on page 10
●
System Time on page 10
Write Filters
For detailed information, see Enhanced Write Filter Manager on page 33 and File-Based Write Filter
Manager on page 37. If you want to save changes to system configuration settings, you must disable
the write filter or issue the -commit command depending on the write filter being used. Otherwise, the
new settings will be lost when the thin client is shut down or restarted. Enable the write filter when you
no longer want to make permanent changes.
The write filter cache contents are not lost when you log off and on again (as the same or different
user). You may disable the write filter cache after the new logon and still retain the changes.
Only the administrator has write filter disabling privileges.
