We have this problem as well. Microsoft’s fix on their site has not solved the problem with our computers. The work around that we have found it this:

Create a new shortcut on the desktop. In the command line box, enter the following:

c:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows

Name the shortcut “Shutdown” and click finish. When you want to shutdown, just double-click on this icon and the computer should not hang. This technique forces all .dlls and device drives to close without waiting for a response.

Run msconfig and in the startup tab uncheck ALL entries. This will help both machines.
