My cause/solution for slow shutdown in XP

[Bob Horvath]

I was experiencing slow shut down in XP (was about 5 seconds and
went to 25 seconds), so I tested shutdown against various programs
running, and found out the slowness was only when I used IE. It turned
out to be the "empty temporary internet files when browser closes" in
the tools, internet options, advanced, security settings of IE. I
unchecked it and all is fine now, back to 5 second shut down.
I saw a tip a few weeks ago to "enable" that setting for some
reason or another, did it, and the slowness was the result. Now I
manually delete the files from options every so often.

Why on earth do you leave IE running when you shut down?

Close IE before you shutdown and you wouldn't have the problem in the first
place.

Hi,
I don't leave it running when I shut down. I HAD it running, shut
it down first, then shut down the computer, and that was when I had
the slow shutdown.
