slow shutdown

I have googled the problem and tried the suggestions found. Problem is it still takes approximately 3 minutes for the little window with shutdown choices to pop up. Not terribly long, just long enough to wake me back up while waiting to shut down to go to bed. A little aggravating. I am running windows xp. I am also loaded with pictures at the moment that I haven't moved to disks yet. Could that slow it down?

ETA: It runs fine otherwise, quick and responsive.

Hey.

You may have too many programs open behind the scene. Cut down on how many programs automatically open at bootup.

Hey.

I recommend you totally REMOVE the Google toolbar. It causes some computers to bog down.
