"Applying security policy" What!?

[Rainchill]

hello,

I upgraded to win2k a year or so ago. The other day I decided to look through some of the advanced security features. I didn't change anything because I always clicked on 'cancel' Now when I boot my computer it takes an extra 30-45 seconds to "apply security policy." Now this doesn't pose much problem as I never reboot my computer unless absolutely necessary, but I was wondering what exactly I need to do to get rid of this annoyance.

thankx

Not sure that you can once you've messed with it.

I think this could possibly be a bug in W2k, at least the way you describe it sounds close to what Microsoft says in <A HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q248353" target="_new">Q248353</A> article. Check it out, and if what they says works, post here again.
