Is there any way to monitor or log programs
which start to run when shutting down WinXP?

Thanks,

tried that, but there are no scripts.

The reason for my question is an error message I get about som file
which cant be found when I'am shutting down. The error message is
shown such a short time that I dont have chance to read it.

Rolfie,

Not always, but generally this means a virus or spyware running.

Update antivirus software and run a full system scan.

Update all antispyware software and run scans.

Right before you shut down, open Task Manager and see what's running. Look
at both Applications and Processess tabs. Ctrl + Shift + Esc.

Also look in the Event Viewer for any errors...
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | Clcik OK
