Shutdown

[Clayton]

I have a problem shutting down a computer, when I goto start/shutdown
nothing happens, I have found a workaround by going to ctrl/alt/delete and
end the task regedit.exe then I am about to shutdown ok, I ran many spyware
and virus scanners and they have come back clean but still have the
regedit.exe running

Figure out what is starting regedit.exe, and stop it. Also I would be
concerned that is not the real regedit.exe! Where is this regedit
located, what properties etc.
