If I manually shut down Skype.exe first the computer shuts down
correctly so I'm quite sure that Skype is the culprit. Any
registry-entry tweak to solve this without having to manually close
Skype prior to shut down? I've reduced the time delay in the registry
but that doesn't help. I need something like killtask to do the job
but
I want it to happen automatically, not with a separate shut down icon,
that's why I'm looking for a registry type solution. Thanks.

Thanks for your help but it didn't solve the problem. As a follow up,
the new Skype version 3.1 has a bug which caused the problem. I found an
older version 3, installed it and the problem disappeared.
