Re: XP Home does a reboot 5 seconds after shutdown
Go to control panel, system and then the advanced tab. Goto the third box (system and recovery) and press 'settings'
Click the tab that says 'advanced' and you'll see a section called 'system faliure'. Uncheck the box that says 'automatically restart'.
What this does (as the name implies) is stop XP restarting your computer when it hits an error on shutdown. With this switched off you'll be likely to get a blue screen of death when you next shutdown - but it will tell you what the offending article is - which will help you find a solution.
