Here's another question for those on the list who are more PC-knowledgeable than I am. Apologies to everyone else.
My two-month-old Dell laptop has acquired the odd quirk of showing the message "End Program...System Shell Extension...End Now" when I shut it down. I have to click "end now" or wait a few seconds for whatever is hanging to shut down. It doesn't do it every time, but nearly so. I cannot relate this to any program I run or don't run. Does anyone have any ideas on how to find and swat this thing? This started after I went through what is known among Dell customers as "decrapifying" the machine, and installing a bunch of my own software. But I cannot just go back to some past operating system state. I have put in too many hours installing software and getting everything just so.
