I have win2000 with sp3 installed. My shutdown time has gotten longer and longer - currently 2 to 3 minutes to shutdown.

On another web site, I saw a discussion of the same problem and the author had found an "event log" in a directory called "Application Logs" that consistently had an error message every time he shut down. (No responses on the web site at this time to problem)

I decided to try and look at my own "event logs" to see if I was encountering the same problem. I ran a search on winnt directory, but could not find anything called either "application logs - or - event logs" Ran the same seach on the c drive and got tons of 'application ...' directories.

Anyone know where I should be looking - or specifically where "error events" would be recorded during shutdown?
