Re: XP Shutdown

If you experience slow logoff (with Saving your settings for most of the
time while logging off), you are having profile unload problems.

If you see a lot of Userenv/1517, Userenv/1524 or Userenv/1500 errors in the
Event Viewer, download and install the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service.

This decreased my shutdown time a bunch. Takes any where from 10 to 20
seconds to shutdown.

C:\Program Files\UPHClean\uphclean.exe is added.

The User Profile Hive Cleanup service gets added to Services and
uphclean.exe will run all the time. I am one that doesn't like to have any
extra services running, but I am sold on UPHClean.

I have the same problem-[ shutdown- closing down- saving settings-] and
then hangs. When I look at the taskbar everything has closed except my
internet connection and i can still 'use' my computer.
I also have to powerdown but then when I restert scndisk runs and startup
takes ages. By the way I cant find AMP in "power Management" .My computer
shows power mangement in control panel but no 'facility' to turn on AMP

When I attempt to shutdown XP using the normal Start/Shutdown method
the PC just keeps running and never goes into the normal closing
process. In order to shutdown the only solution is a manual power off
(hold button). Where can I find out what program is not executing?
