Try this go here, the setting may already be true, I do
average around 30 seconds for shutdown

When a user shuts down Windows XP, first the system has
to kill all services currently running. Every once in a
while the service does not shut down instantly and
windows gives it a change to shut down on its own before
it kills it. This amount of time that windows waits is
stored in the system registry. If you modify this
setting, then windows will kill the service earlier. To
modify the setting, follow the directions below:
1. Start Regedit.
2. Navigate to
3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control.
4. Click on the "Control" Folder.
5. Select "WaitToKillServiceTimeout"
6. Right click on it and select Modify.
7. Set it a value lower than 2000 (Mine is set to 200).
