Fix Windows XP Shut Down

In an earlier post we discussed a few registry hacks to speed up your Windows shutdown sequence. Today we’re going to talk about how to fix Windows XP if your shutdown is broken. If this has ever happened to you, it’s because some programs don’t release their Windows registry connections when you log off, causing the shutdown time to increase and sometimes causing problems when you try to log on to a different machine on the same network. There’s a great free program called User Profile Hive Cleanup Service (it will require you to validate your Windows copy) that fixes these problems.
From Microsoft: User Profile Hive Cleanup helps with slow log off and unreconciled profile problems ensuring that user sessions are completely terminated when a user logs off when using Roaming Profiles or locked profiles as implemented through the Shared Computer Toolkit.
Try this out if you’ve got any problems shutting down Windows XP.
