Also, I just thought of something: If you have Mozilla Firefox:

Firefox's forums had discussion not too long ago about Firefox being slow to shut down. If it is doing this to you, it might be delaying your Windows close. I seem to recall that if you have lots of TABS open (like working on this site) they drain your RAM and it delays shut down. I am not sure if the more recent updates have fixed it or not. We don't shut down this tower every night. I can tell we need a reboot when things get rather mushy on this unit.
