    I have an asus n80 that just started getting this error on shutdown. Junction.exe failed to initialize. I have no idea what I installed that would cause this error or what it is. anyone know anything about it or how to fix it.

    i think i figured it out. there is a program called desktop media im using. it puts an icon on your desk when media is inserted like an external drive. the error happens when i have symbolic hard links option checked instead of shortcut soft links option. im not sure why but I think thats the culprit. it stopped anyway. no more crash on shutdown.
