|  slow shutdown
My PC has been getting slower and slower on shut down. How many of these processes can I safely shut down to see if it helps?
I have run Spybot and Adaware. Also, have done a virus scan, but still my shut down takes at least 20-30 seconds....
P4 2.53
WD 60GB ATA100 HD
Radeon 9700 pro
1 GB OCZ DDR333
Win. XP Pro
Thanks |

I can speed my win 2000 log off by deleating all cookies and temp internet files. I have to be loged on as someone else with admin privileges. Visiting ebay once will slow down my wifes log off. I delete the file content.IE5 in temp internet files.
