shutdown

Just create a shortcut to the path
c:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows
Type the exact path, chk for spaces too.
these shorcut refers to the shutdown command.

After creating the shortcut double click and chk whether the system restarts or shutdown.
If it restarts u probably hv to download the windows shotdown patch.
If u cld not find the patch mail me I will pass the patch to U.
the patch will certainly solve the prob.

This happened to me recently when I unselected the "disable fast shutdown" option in the advanced troubleshooting Settings.

When I selected it again everything was fine.

To check the setting:
Run msconfig
Select the Advanced button
If the box beside "disabe fast shutdown" is not ticked, tick it and exit.
