Shutdown mystery ...

Please try this: Create a new shortcut, call it Shutdown or something similar. Right click it and select Properties. In the 'Target' window, put "C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE user.exe, exitwindows" (Omit MY double quotes) and click Apply to save your changes.

Try clicking this shortcut and see if your system shuts down normally. If it works, you can put the shortcut in your Start menu and bypass Start/Shutdown altogether.

Note: If this works, your system will shutdown immediately and without warning or confirmation. This makes this an excellent shortcut for your boss's machine: Just name it FunStuff, BlameSomeoneElse, PassTheBuck, or something sure to catch his attention, like GolfHints.

Cheers, PW.
