    Computer Shut Down Message
    Hello - I get this message every time I shut down my computer - "Other people are logged on to this computer. Shutting down windows cause them to lose data. Do you want to continue shutting down?" Want to know what this mean or who is "them". If this is just an error message, how can I correct the error? Thanks - Ramon.

    Are you sharing files with another computer on your network? That could be the "them" you're seeing. To see open sessions, you can right click on my computer, go to Manage, go to where it says "Shared Folders" under "System Tools", then click on Sessions. It should show anyone connected to your file shares.
