Log on as Administrator, not just an account with Admin priveleges, see what is running then. Try and shut down and see if it does it then.

You didn't say which OS you are using but if it's XP you can try to use System Restore if you have a point that far back.

If you have it set to clean out temp files and dump the prefetch files at shutdown it can add a fair amount of time to shutting down but not five minutes.

You most likely have a program or a file that is not closing properly.
