| 1205813 | 2011-05-31 02:28:00 | Do you need to enable some setting to see the "Undock PC" button in the start menu for Win XP on a laptop ? Or is this specific to the kind of laptop you have i.e only shows on say Lenovo and not on Dell ? Does undocking a laptop simply by pussing the eject button on docking station damage the laptop in anyway while you are logged in besides data loss ? Or is it imperative you loggoff/shutdown before physically undocking by pushing the eject button? |

Ok i used to use a Lenovo T61 and it had the undock option/button in the start menu but on my Dell which runs XP it does not have Undock button so it seems its manufacturer specific rather then Windows XP feature enabling ? |

| 1205816 | 2011-05-31 02:58:00 | I honestly don't know - does your T61 run XP as well? Was that undock button in the start menu part of Windows or a 3rd party program made by Lenovo? My Toshiba and Asus don't have docking stations, and I've never used the docking station on my IBM 380ED which does. |
