Some services might not be closing

Go to msconfig ->srvices and use "try and error method" for non Microsoft products and check which service is having problem

A simple Google search lead me to this page
http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/shtdwnxp.php
Check out that also

also check if u have configured to clear ur page-file on shutdown. this too can take time. open regedit and check this key :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management

to NOT have it cleared, change value of ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 0

anand you didn't notice that user has already mentioned that he has disabled option of deleting pagefile at shutdown.

BTW pls post your Hijackthis log file here. Maybe that will help us in finding something.

Also empty your temp folder, empty preftech folder.
