For some people, for some reason their LW is slow to shutdown properly. Do a control-alt-del to bring up the window to show if LW is still active or not before shutting down computer. Wait until it does close down, else I guess you can force quit it however that may muck up your download prefs as you have been having. If the latter is the issue that LW is not closing properly, it may be Java related & the version of Java you have is not working the best on your system. Something else you can do is:
Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue! (click on blue link) which will speed your LW up rather dramatically. Apply that to those files of zero download % or files of less than 200 KB for example.
Make sure LW is set to close immediately. Go to Tools -> Options -> System Tray and check this option.
