Shut down is slow

It takes at least two minutes for my WIN 2000 to save my
personal settings and shut down. I have checked to be sure
that my "Clear virtual memory pagefile when system shuts
down" is turned off. I am a single user of the computer.

If someone could give me a clue of why it takes so long,
I'd very much appreciate the help.

There appears to be a hotfix available from MS (thanks Neo)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;814770

but you will have to telephone MS to order it.

another workaround is to do a
net stop spooler
from the Start > Run box
