OK.  After a search on the web I discovered that Windows 2000 Pro (which 
is the version I have in VPC) has an application called Task Manager 
that will force quit apps. I found Task Manager on my system, opened it 
and proceeded to terminate several instances of mmxsitessc.exe that were 
listed as running. After that I was indeed able to shut down Windows and 
go to bed.

I like it when things work out that way!
