Default Shut Down hangs

When shutting down windows the software hangs at the point
where all icons are removed from the screen leaving just
the windows "clouds" background. The only way to close
the PC then is to switch off the power. Are there any
diagnostics I can use to solve the problem?

Does the same happen in Safe Mode?

Take a look at Jim Eshelman's excellent troubleshooting site. The following
two URL's link directly to articles on WinME shutdown problems:
