You will back up your registry before you try any of these? My machines shut down quickly enough so I haven't tried these. You may have to read through the pages to find what you are looking for. You realize hacking your registry is risky?

yes, I know it is risky but it is the only way to get certain things to work the way you want them to. I backup a copy of registry any time I alter registry in any way.

I always thought XP shut down pretty quick. It's other apps that would cause it to stall when shutting down.

RDILLY is the simplest Registry backup app ever. Good stuff.
