After you remove a smart card from a Windows XP-based computer, you are not logged off, or the workstation is not locked (910482)

SYMPTOMS

On a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer, you remove a smart card after the logon window appears. After you do this, you are not logged off, or the workstation is not locked. The behavior occurs even if the value of the ScRemoveOption registry entry is set to 2 (Force logoff) or to 1 (Lock workstation).

Note You can locate the ScRemoveOption registry entry under the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
