problem shutting down

[Guest]

Every time I try to restart or shutdown in xp pro, I recieve a not responding
error box & I have to end task before my computer will shut down.The problem
is with
explorer, not internet explorer, taskbar explorer. does anyone know how to
fix this,I have to wait at my desk for the box to pop up before I can walk
away.
Thanks
