I have one account set up on my home edition. When
shutting down I received the following message:

Other people are logged onto this computer. Shutting
down now might cause them to lose data. Do you want to
shutdown anyway?

Yes No

Can anyone explain this mystery user?

Maybe you should check Task Manager CTL-ATL-DEL to see which
applications or processes are active. Could one of these be using
authority which treats it like a user? I have not seen this behavior,
but I would be interested in hearing the resolution if you find one.
