Why Windows takes so long to shut down

We all have been there. It is 4:55 and you want to get out of work...But you want to make sure your system is shutdown for the night. You dutifully close all of your applications and start shutting down

5 minutes later it *finally* powers off

If you happen to be using Windows and that ever happens to you, click on the link above to find out how you can get Windows to shut down in seconds instead of minutes.

Note: this tip no longer applies to me - I gave Windows the boot on my last remaining machine (my work laptop) a few weeks ago. I am officially Windows-free! :) If I could have gotten Windows to start in less than 10 minutes I might have kept it around longer ...


Remember when your website/blog used to be good?? Yes, I know, this is coming from the guy that doesn't even have a website anymore, let alone one that's good.

Yeah, yeah, I know - what can I say but I've been on hiatus from a lot of things lately and any web stuff I've been doing hasn't been for my benefit. Will that change soon? I hope so. If not, tough beans, I guess.

I'm not the only hero of the Internets that's MIA - you should get your site back up to speed.
