A third party is often a company that provides an auxiliary product not
supplied by the primary manufacturer to the end user. A second-party
developer is a developer who, while being a separate entity from any
manufacturer, is tied to a specific one usually through contract or partial
ownership and makes products specifically for that manufacturer.

Sorry...I don't see an entry for "second party driver". And not anything
that has to do with a Windows PC.

Ted

It was there!
Second-party developer, tied to and makes games specifically for one console
manufacturer

I see it now. Sort of like the men who are claiming to be the father of
Anna Nicole's son.

You're welcome. As it happens, I resaw "Night at the Opera" last night, so
it popped into my memory as soon as I saw your question.

First Party: The place where the evening starts.
Second Party: The place you go after the First Party is over.
Third Party: The place you were at after the Second Party but don't
remember the next day.

In other words - you do not see the entry located:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory
Management

Called: ClearPageFileAtShutdown

That is good.

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WITH THE LAPTOP I'M USING NOW.
IT WOULD TAKE EXACTLY 2 MINUTES, 3 SECONDS FOR THE "TURN OFF", "RESTART",
"STANDBY" BUTTON TO COME UP, THEN ONCE PRESSING THE TURN OFF BUTTON, IT WOULD
TAKE EXACTLY 2 MINUTES 42 SECONDS TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN MY COMPUTER.
HERE IS HOW I FIXED IT, AND SINCE MY FIX, I'VE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO PROBELMS
WHATSOEVER:
CLICK AND OPEN YOUR CONTROL PANEL.
CLICK AND OPEN "PERFORMANCE AND MAINTENANCE"
IN THE UPPER LEFT HAND PANEL, CLICK "SYSTEM RESTORE"
ON THE LEFT CLICK "SYSTEM RESTORE SETTINGS"
IN THE SETTINGS WINDOW CHECK THE BOX FOR "TURN OFF SYSTEM RESTORE"
NOW, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER.
WHEN IT RESTARTS, IT WILL ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO TURN SYSTEM RESTORE BACK ON.
THE SYSTEM RESTORE FILE BECOMES CORRUPTED SOMETIMES, AND THIS PROCEDURE
CLEANS IT OUT.

1. Don't post in caps. That means you're shouting, and is considered rude.

2. Since System Restore is not active during shutdown, it has no effect
on how quickly a computer shuts down. However, if the hard disk is
almost full, deleting restore points will free up space which can allow
shutdown to proceed faster.

I have talked to a lot of HP Techs now and the system still takes the
IMPOSSIBLE time of 9 Minutes and 27 Seconds to turn off.
No viruses, no adware, recent defrag.

Did you try the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service like Gerry Cornell
suggested?
