Speed up slow shutdown?

Hi Baz,

Suggestion:

This edit automatically ends tasks and timeouts that prevent programs from
shutting down and clears the Paging File on Exit.

Using Windows XP Pro, my computer takes nearly a minute to shutdown. I've
tracked it down to a combination of processes used by my Brother printer
and Sygate firewall.

If I use Task manager to shut down two running processes used by my
Brother
printer and exit the Sygate firewall via the taskbar the computer shuts
down
in about 10 seconds.

Is there a way to automate or simplify the shutdown of running processes
and
the Sygate firewall?

Thanks in advance for any info.
