What about this:

Just before going to shut down, open up Task Manager (right-click taskbar,
choose "Task Manager"). Put list into alphabetical order. Kill tasks one by
one from the top (unless its a critical component of Windows), then see if
it shuts down. Keep trying this over and over until you work out which
process is stopping the shut down. Then retest by rebooting and *only*
shutting down that process so you know you've got the one. Then try and
remove that software or get someone to write a "Process-Killer" for you that
you run just before shutting down. 9/10 times you can do without that
software anyway.

Just a suggestion...not certain this will work.

Hi,

But the issue I am facing is something different, I am able to logoff
very quickly but when I click on the shutdown option it takes minimum 5-10
mins to bring the shutdown window.

Regards,
Potri Raaja.M.

My Windows XP Pro SP III is doing exactly the same thing.
