Does your XP windows PC take a long time to shut down after logging off? Do you have event number 1517 in your event viewer (application)?
"Windows saved user ComputerName\UserName registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use. This is caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account. "
Although there may be many causes of long log off and shut down time if you get the 1517 error a good bet is to try is a fix offered by Microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837115
I just installed it on my XP machine. Check back and I will report what impact this fix has.
