Answer 6

Well, it might be your computer.    The more programs you have, the longer it takes your computer to shut down since it needs  to close the programs.    It's the programs you have runing when you shut down.    I reccomend closing all programs before shutting down.    =]

If you want to know how to remove all of your startup programs, just go to the start menu and type in msconfig in the space that it lets you type.

You should see a tab labeled Startup.  You can choose which one you want or simply press disable all.
