if indeed you need to hold your power button to shut off the computer, you can set up advanced power management settings so that you computer shuts off by itself. i have forgotten exactly where they are, but if you right click on the desktop and then go to properties, i believe you can set it up within one of those tabs. hope this helps ya....

Thanks Deep_sky. That was an excellent suggestion. It fixed me right up.

I took that one step further and configured power management to use "sleep" button on my MS keyboard to shut down. It shuts down very quickly now.
