Hi bassbag, Hi all, :-)

Sorry if I don't understood exactly.
If the problem appears only at shutdown, maybe you want to auto-close
the hunged programs. (This solved this problem at my system).
For this reason I download the last freeware version of X-Setup, from:
http://www.aplusfreeware.com/categories/LFWV/X-Setup.html .
You can find the auto-closing plugin at (Classic menus):
Startup/Shutdown->Shutdown->Windows NT/2K/XP->Program Shutdown->AutoEnd
Programs.
a) Check the box (at right) Auto End Hung Programs and then b) press
the button Apply Changes (F9) or press F9.

At next plugin (Program Timeout), you can change the default 20 sec
timing for autoclose (but I don't think its a good idea).

After applying changes, maybe restarting or Log off-on os needed.

Other usefull plugins also available. (If X-Setup brings up a Warning
Box, press "NO" and don't enable dangerous plugins).
Also be sure to make a restore point after installing X-Setup and
before opening it for applying changes to your system (just in case).

Good Luck!!!
