I'm lost trying to troubleshoot this problem. Everytime I shutdown w2k I get
the msg that program WinMsgs is not responding. If I'm around I just click
the end program button, but if I' trying to use an auto shutdown feature in
an application the shutdown never completes. If anyone out there can point me
in the right direction to solving this glitch I would me most appreciative.

You may need to get in touch with the application developer.

Has this always happened since installing the application or did it just
appear one day? If started since install then looking at it from a
programming point of view, I think that they forgot to WM_QUERYENDSESSION.
This is the constant Windows Message that is checked when you shut the
computer down. If they haven't checked for this message in their application
then this will hold back the computer from closing...

I hope this info has enlightened you a little
