Needing to press "Turn off" twice
In a similar vein, with my home PC using XP SP2 and the Classic program menu (to remove all doubt of what I decribe):
  1. Start / Turn off computer / select "Turn off" icon
  2. Lots of HDD activity happens for a few seconds, and then nothing more
  3. Open Task Manager for a check that nothing is running (it isn't) and that the CPU is idle (it is at 0-1%)
  4. Now repeat step 1
  5. This time the PC immediately shuts down
Any pointers as to why the first attempt aborts itself and the second works fine? If I repeat steps 1&4 as fast as I can navigate the mouse shutdown still works immediately so I am confident nothing of consequence is still running.
