I think you answered your own question, Pro has more
processes to close.

| Hi all. I have dual boot, XP Home and Pro. I've had the
Home running for a year or so but just added the Pro
partition. The shutdown in Pro is slow compared to Home.
I've read a lot of the posts here and have applied several
of the regedits and MS patch to no avail. It's slow, but not
as slow as some report. I'd say the "saving ..." screen
displays for 20-25 seconds or so, and the drive light is on,
then it shuts off. Home only shows this screen for a few
seconds then shuts down, much quicker for sure.

| My questions >> Is this just a quirk of Pro or is there
indeed something wrong? Could it be just the extra
networking stuff in Pro taking it's time to shutdown?

the cable connection. P2.4, 512 mb RAM, etc ...
