windows xp turns off too slowly
It takes about two minutes for the "turn off computer", "restart",
"hibernate" options to appear when I press on "turn off computer" button on start menu. And after that, when I select "turn off computer", the computer turns off too slowly. This happens only when I use internet explorer. What might be the reason and how could I solve this?

The Optional Software updates are generally safe - although I recommend against the "Windows Search" one and any of the "Office Live" ones or "Windows Live" ones for now. I would completely avoid the Optional Hardware updates.

I use it on Win XP Pro for over a year, and shut-down has been easier since.
