program holding up shutdown

Every now and then I get the message 'waiting for a program to close' when I shut down the computer (W7) it then takes about 10 seconds before it continues, while it's not a problem I'd like to know which program is causing it (it doesn't tell you). Things like process explorer don't stay open long enough to be of any use and I can't find anything in the usual logs, has anyone any ideas on how to nail it? As it's not every time there's no point in shutting down any processes before closing to see if it cures it. Oh and before anyone starts I do NOT have any viruses.
