The problem needs to be addressed by the VNC developers, if PC Anywhere can do it, I don't see any reason why VNC can't. The shutdown tools are OK, but you still can't see what is happening during the shutdown process. PC Anywhere is the last service to shutdown, so you can actually stay connect

You can always do a logoff of a NT/2K machine first and then do a shutdown. This would assure no user level processes are hanging. If it's a system service that is hanging, then you are kind'a SOL. You could create a batch file that would stop all possible offending services before you attempt a
