I dont recommend doin anythin while shutting down or loggin off... it increases the shutdown/logoff time.
Also dont clear prefetch while shutdown. It severely slows down off-time. Its recommended only when ur privacy is of utmost importance, say, in the national level !!! *smileyonline.free.fr/images/gif/animsympa/1050848555.gif
