Re: XP Takes more than 5 Minutes to Shutdown

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

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 about 12 seconds to shutdown.
