Thanks for the tip nick,
I was just about to 'resign' but I'll stay on a bit longer now!

Tech Clinic / Slow shutdown (~1min) in XP.

Hi all,
Just got to tell you - I've solved my problem re: "1 minute shutdown in XP".
Due to my hyper-paranoia I had set the dear thing to to "clear page-file on shutdown".
This is precisely what it was doing- bless it's little heart!
It now closes in 10secs flat!
My sincere appologies to Mr Gates and XP!
It's actually quite good when you get to know it.

Thanks Quik69 , The-Flames and Guest
Spot on in every respect - glad it's not my fault!
I'm new to XP - I was told it was the best!
Maybe one day Mr Gates WILL put out something that really works, when Hell freezes over !!

When shutting down WinXP - the final screen "windows is shutting down"
(or whatever) - stays there for up to a minute.
If I loose patience and switch the ***** thing off before it closes, all seems OK next time I switch on.
Any ideas please?
