You may have some programs running that just take their time shutting down.
Before shutting down, use control/alternate/delete to bring up the list of
running programs. You may find a lot more than you thought. Through
'start/msconfig/startup' you can view start up programs and uncheck those
that are not necessary. A few may reinsert themselves because they are
controlled in the registry or elsewhere rather than msconfig.
Cleaning out excess files using disk cleanup, checking directory/file
structures using checkdisk, and doing a defragmentation using disk
defragmenter can't hurt and may improve the condition. As always, check for
viruses and spyware when the system unexpectedly slows down.
You can also try a program in WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\shutdown.exe -s -t 1 (there
are spaces between the parameters) which will force running programs to shut
down. It closes down my system faster when I use it though your condition is
excessively slow.
I assume you are running XP. I hope this helps.
