It takes a lot longer to shut WinXP down than any other version of Windows. Anybody else noticing this trend?

It doesn't matter.

You don't need to use your computer after shut down, so there is no reason to wait. Just do something else instead of look at the screen to wait it shut down.

3 Minutes?? damn it that's slow. You can change the timeout in the registry - i.e. the time it just waits until it decides to actually shut it down.
Microsoft put it high so that you wouldn't want to leave their operating system.

What reg. setting did you choose? I had mine set to 4000, but the link above said something about 200.
