Windows Shutdown

When I shut down Windows (XP Professional), instead of everything going
automatically I am getting a message End Program THEEJM_Wnd, asking me to END
NOW. When I select END NOW, I soon get a message End Program WMS Idle, asking
me to END NOW.

Can anyone suggest how I might get the auto shutdown process to handle this
again? I don't know what has changed. Thanks.

Try this:

Start > Run > type in REGEDIT and press Enter. Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Control Panel > Desktop and, on the right side
window, locate AutoEndTasks. By default it is 0. Double-click it,
change it to 1, click OK. Reboot. Next time you shut down tasks will
automatically be ended for you.
