Whenever I try to shut down Windows there is always one program that will not
respond until I click "End now". The program varies but lately it is,
"C:\Windows\Prefetch, fdkfjh32.exe. it always says "Program not
responding". Why has it decided to do this after years of shutting
down flawlessly....?

fdkfjh32.exe??? Chances are that you have contracted some sort of malware...
The following should be of value to you.

Before cleaning download this:

LSP-Fix - a free program to repair damaged Winsock 2 stacks:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

Use that should cleaning out your PC remove or damage your in-place winsock
and you can't connect to the internet.

From the virus and trojan category pick one application, they're all free,
download it and install it. Make sure that you update it. From the spyware
category pick all three, download them and update them to the latest
definitions. Reboot, press the F8 key over and over again, from the menu
select Safe mode without networking. Do your cleaning in there. Reboot to
regular mode and run the scans again. This isn't going to be quick or easy
but it might just solve your problems and it should prevent you from further
problems so long as you keep them updated and scan often. Most of them can
be enabled to update and scan automatically.
