Slow to start slow to shutdown..

I am running Vista x64 with SP1 on a clean install. I have been running
XP. Unlike others that have posted I am finding Vista takes a tad longer
to boot but really seems to take longer to shutdown. I have followed the
tutorials and have made the registry adjustments to 'correct' these
problems. They don't seem to be making that much of a difference when
compared to XP boot and shutdown times. Is/are there any other tricks
available to shorten both of these times. PS. All drivers are 64 bit, 4
gig mem, 500 gig hard drive, AMD 64x2 4400 processor, MSI motherboard.
Thanks....

Welcome to the Vista Forums arty:

In addition to the registry tweaks, I've also implemented readyboost,
which really cut down on my shutdown and startup times. I'm using 4 GB
of DDR2 800 Ram and a 4 GB readyboost USB drive. Maybe this might help
you too. Here's how to set up readyboost:

I hope this helps.

Why shut down? Sleep doesn't take long to turn off, and after hitting the
spacebar I am running with full functionality (including wireless network) in
less than 10 seconds.

Just curious: I can see the desire for a quick boot time, but why the
concern with shutdown? I hit the button and walk away... I don't really care
how long it takes.
