Re: I have to shut down twice, why?

Hi,

This can be due to several reasons. Suggestion and checkpoints to consider:

Disable everything that reads 'Wake up' in the BIOS settings. Also, I have
seen this behavior if you have a CD/DVD in the drive during a shutdown.

Shutdown Event Tracker - Line 373:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Power the Computer Off or Reboot After Shutdown

This edit controls whether Windows should automatically power down or reboot
your computer once it has finished the shutdown process.

User Profile Hive Cleanup Service (Line 36) Right hand side

This edit automatically ends tasks and timeouts that prevent programs from
shutting down and clears the Paging File on Exit.
