How many processes do you have running at idle?

Winders will try to shut them down one by one at shutdown.

Eliminating how many you have running to begin with will speed up your shutdown.

Asus had an issue with the A8N-E where it would hang on shut down, a bios update fixed that. Like Trinitron has said, look at ur Task Manager and see whats running. Shut down the processes u know, then do your usual start/shut down....how did that go?
no good?, ok....this registy tweak is what I have done with mine.
If all else fails check this out, Super Fast Shutdown.

Indeed with this (^^) but i have a program ''XP-AntiSpy'' which has a option enable fast shutdown. That works to.
