| 697861 | 2008-08-17 02:43:00 | You guys have been great with your help on various aspects of this computer fix so far so thanks heaps for that. I have one more nagging issue then I think I am done. The system has a very long shutdown. I have cleaned the registry with CCleaner I have adjusted the registry values for shutting down apps and hung apps and adjusted the speed in which the services are shut down There must be something else that I am missing as its still taking ages. |

| 697862 | 2008-08-17 02:49:00 | Its probably a program hanging on shutdown. You'll have to check whats running in the background. Before you shut down I wouldnt play around with the registry too much. One wrong move, you could kill the system completely. Then you'll have to reformat |

| 697865 | 2008-08-17 07:33:00 | If it's XP, it might need this little tool you can get from Microsoft. UPHC (user profile hive cleanup service) helps to shutdown by allowing the user profile hive to get things in order. Especially designed for Win XP SP2. Worked a treat on mine. |

| 697866 | 2008-08-17 07:37:00 | Also look in the event logs should come up with errors if a program is crashing during shutdown. | stormdragon (6013) | ||

Thats true, if you go to start/run and type eventvwr.msc, and go through application and see an entry with Userenv, and its got this in it Windows cannot unload your classes registry file - it is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded when it is no longer in use. this should help (www.microsoft.com) |

Just my :2cents: |
