Shutdown Lockup

In order to shutdown from my desktop I've set up an icon that runs
"shutdown.exe -f -t: 10". This worked for me in XP but doesn't work for me
in Vista Home Basic. System locks up on "Logging Off ..." screen and I have
to hit power off button on unit to shutdown the computer. Need advice.

If you have any usb drives, disconnect them prior to shutdown.
