Shut Down SLow

Recently my 2007 HP Pavilion notebook computer (Intel Centrino Duo, 2 GB
RAM) has been taking at least 3-5 x longer to shut down than my desktop
computer that runs the same programs (actually there are more programs to
shut down on the desktop computer). Is there a problem that causes this
delay and can the shut down time be shortened.

Thanks for help and advice.

You could check in the event logs if there are any logs about this problem,
under Applications and services
logs\Microsoft\Windows\Diagnostics-Performance\Operational

If you are unfamilliar with the event log I can explain how to get there.

You can also enable detailed messages when Windows starts up and shuts down.
The instructions are here:
