Win XP Shutdown

OK- next problem. I think that since I installed W7 as a dual boot on XP SP3 system shut-down has gone for ball of chalk. Over 3 minutes now with constant drive activity. Can someone explain (in simple terms) what XP does on shutdown eg registry write, swap file etc and what I can do to go back to a normal shut-down. 'Saving settings' often lingers and the main hang is on 'Shutting down'. W7 shut-down is 'normal'.
