Thanks Roger. Sounds like it's worth a try.

Rick,

Check out the mis-named User Profile Hive Cleanup Service from Microsoft

Its primary function is to deal with programs that have a registry key open and
don't close it quickly enough (or at all) when shutting down.

It appears that Windows tries to wait for the keys to be closed so that the
registry isn't corrupted before it shuts down. However some programs open a key
to read it but never close it and have no intentions of updating it. Sort of
another version of the memory leak problems.

I have seen this tool help enough shutdowns that it is part of my standard
install practices now.

A while back when I log off or shutdown my home system it sits on the 'saving
your setting' message for a really long time. I haven't actually timed it
but it's probably over 15 seconds. When using any of the other ID's it fly's
right through. The only difference I can see is that my ID is an
administrator. I've tried changing the account type but it didn't help.
Does anyone have any ideas what would cause this delay?
