I have an 8400 Dell  Dimension - Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz which is 
approx 4 years old using  Win XP home.  Here recently, when shutting down, I've 
been getting this  error message which reads something like this (it goes by 
so fast, I'm not quite  sure of the wording)  'This application failed to 
utilize/finalize (don't  know which) because Windows is shutting down.'
 
I don't even know what they  are talking about.  I didn't have any programs 
running at the time of  shutting down.  I haven't done anything that I don't 
usually do  either.  But on my start up menu..... I only have my firewall,  
anti-virus and a spyware program running.  But here recently, it has been  check 
marking this ----C:\WINDOWS\System32\ctfmon.exe.  I keep taking the  check mark 
off but when I turn it on the next morning.. it's check marked  again.  What 
is that and why won't it stay  UNCHECKED?  
 
Now.......... for some  reason and for the last 3 times of shutting down, it 
has stopped being check  marked. I don't know if this has something to do with 
this error message or  not.  But one thing for sure, it never used to do this 
nor did I ever get  that error message before.    Harriet
