		Maybe. Also try reducing the amount of space that is used by the system restore thingy.

		Yes, I too find that it takes forever for it to turn off... And I defrag sometimes too. Mine usually turns off, and Im using WINXP Home not Pro.. But it will hang at Saving Settings... for some time.. A bit excessive. :bs

		You may have something running in the background that's misbehaving, and Windows is waiting for it to respond to the shutdown message.
