slow shutdown

[Sweeper]

My PC has been getting slower and slower on shut down. How many of these processes can I safely shut down to see if it helps?
I have run Spybot and Adaware. Also, have done a virus scan, but still my shut down takes at least 20-30 seconds....

Thanks

I can speed my win 2000 log off by deleating all cookies and temp internet files. I have to be loged on as someone else with admin privileges. Visiting ebay once will slow down my wifes log off. I delete the file content.IE5 in temp internet files.

I must be living right. My system boots reasonably fast,and shuts down reasonably fast.
