UNC Connection Generates Error Message on Shutdown (123444)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q123444 SYMPTOMS
When you establish a universal naming convention (UNC) network connection
with a Windows 95 machine and then the Windows 95 machine is shut down
using the Start menu, you receive the following error message
There are <x> user(s) connected to your computer. Shutting down
your computer will disconnect them. Do you want to continue?
where <x> indicates the number of users currently connected.
CAUSE
A client connected to a Windows 95 server needs to maintain the connection
for a reasonable amount of time, allowing for user interaction. If the
Windows 95 machine is shut down during this time, the above error message
is generated. It is generated even though there are no drives mapped
directly to the Windows 95 server.
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, wait a short time before shutting down the
Windows 95 computer.
