Windows XP saving settings

[GTFAST95]

Hi, I am facing a slight annoyance with my newly built
computer. Windows XP seems to take a considerable amount
of time shutting down. It takes a long time to go through
the "Saving settings...Logging off...Shutting down
windows" screen. My system is pretty fast so I dont think
its the system thats lagging. My HDD is pretty blank and
I have no applications running, which would take time to
shutdown. I really have no idea whats causing this, but
its really annoying! I have run scan disk and found no problem, and have run
a virus scan also no problems. If anybody has any suggestions please help.
Thanks alot!

You might consider adding the Microsoft Add-on Service, User Profile
Hive Cleanup. Specifically designed to help with logoff/Shutdown issue(s).

Another often overlooked setup/configuration issue is to check the
System & Event Logs for errors.
Click Start, Run (Type) EventVwr.Msc [Enter]

I agree with McCarty--the Hive Clean-up has helped shutdown times in several
machines I've added it to. If it doesn't help, it won't hurt anything to
have it anyway.
