Sometimes when I click shut down my computer ignores me. How can I get it's
attention and tell it to shut down. Note: ctl-alt-del/shut down gives same
result.
Win XP SP2, AMD64 proc @ 2ghz, AVG antivir, Ad-Watch active monitoring.

A solution that often helps with a slow shutdown.

Download and install the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service

Hope this helps.

Just in case you didn’t screen these links for advices / ideas, although I
think is the case, viewed from the fact that you have installed the Cleanup
Service
as a tool to prevent the PCs randomly occurring ignorance of shutting down:

James A. Eshelman pages, Windows XP Shutdown & Restart Troubleshooting:
http://aumha.org/win5/kbshtdwn.htm

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm, click “S” and scroll down to
Shutdown - where the referenced links Shutdown Troubleshooters could offer
some hints.
