Hi am fairly new here and wonder if somebody can help me out with this.

My computer takes forever to switch of in the normal mode and have found a proggrame called quick shutdown and I find that most times I have to use that to shutdown. Any ideas please...............

this is just about the oldest problem in the book - and could be caused by many things .....

first you need a good clearout
the temp directory is a good place to start

create a new text file and copy the 3 lines below into it ...
(no problem if tou do all 5)

rem copy from the line below
rd /s /q %temp%\
del /q %temp%\*.*
pause
rem to the line above

save the file as deltemp.bat
double click to run .... it will clear your temp folders.

this probably won't be the whole story - but it's a good start ...see how you go

come back for more
oh .... and try to think if you installed/uninstalled anything that might have set things off
