Hi Steve,
This behaviour is normal if the system is configured to clear page file at
shutdown. Turn off this feature and test the behaviour.
Open Registry Editor (Click Start > Run > Regedit.exe)
Browse to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \
Session Manager \ Memory Management
Set "ClearPageFileAtShutdown"=dword:00000000
If this does not help, you need to set AutoEndTasks to 1.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"AutoEndTasks" =1

Windows XP takes forever to shut down or for a user to
log off - any ideas on how to fix this?
