Is it normal for XP to take more than a minute to shut down? No OS that I've ever used took this much time before। I don't have many programs running when I shut down so I'm not quite sure what the delay is। The activity light is blinking so I know XP is working, I'm just not sure of everything that it's doing as it shuts down।

Start Regedit. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control. Click "Control" Folder. Select "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" Right click and select Modify. Set it a value lower than 2000 (Mine is set to 200).
