    hi all,

    after installing a fresh xp, i did all the tricks with autoendtasks and waittokillapp settings to decrease shutdown time. however, after I click shutdown, my comuter does not shut down unless I click the show hidden items button in the systray. When I click it, all icons close one by one and after a minute or so, xp shuts down. all suggestions welcome. thanks
