[dba-SQLServer] Windows shutdown

Hi John!

This is WAY outside of my field of experience! But I wonder if the SQL 
Server is stopping the OS shutting down if it thinks someone (your other 
computer) is still connected. Maybe your other machine needs to 
positivly disconnect - a bit like the recordset=none (or whatever) we 
use in Access.

Just a total WAG John!
