Forget the errors, they don't happen all that often, I shut down normally because I'd rather spend a few extra seconds then than more seconds waiting for ScanDisk to hurry up and finish.

I work in the IT industry and to be honest, I've seen a thousand computers turned off in this fashion without ill effects. It's the 2 or 3 that have completely stuffed up that cause me to always shut my computer down properly. Surely the small time it takes to shut down your computer is worth it to save the hours it takes to rebuild your system.
Oh well..if people are that lazy....I'll always have a job! |

By going to start > shut down you're giving windows the chance to save any random information that may be floating around in ram or the swap file. Like everyone else said, it probably won't harm much if it doesn't shut down properly, but windows can be real finicky. The one time it does mess up, it will really mess up. My advice: Shut down propery to avoid any potential headaches.
