Shutting Down or Logging Off Windows Takes a Long Time

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, use any of the following methods:

Method 1

Empty your Temporary Internet Files folder each time you quit Internet Explorer. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Internet, and then click the Advanced tab.
3. Under Security, click the "Delete saved pages when browser closed" check box to select it, and then click OK. NOTE: This does not delete content in the Cookies, History, or Subscription folders.

Method 2

Maintain each user's temporary Internet files in the user's Home directory. Although this still consumes server storage, it does not require that the files be copied to the server when users log off.

Method 3

Maintain all users' temporary Internet files in a shared common folder. Note that if you use this method, all user's cookies are stored in the same location.

Method 4

Maintain each user's temporary Internet files on the local drive in a location other than the user's profile folder. This is the most efficient method. However, this does not allow a user's cookies to follow the user to other stations.
