Why is it recommended to shut down a computer properly?

Since Windows is a multi-tasking, multi-threaded operating system (in other words, it can do several things at once), the process of shutting down Windows makes sure that all of the tasks are terminated properly, and all of the files that may be open are closed.Let us say, for example, that your computer was in the process of checking for new e-mail messages when you shut it down (improperly). The file where your email is stored may be "left open", meaning that the computer wasn't finished with the file operations when it was shut down. The next time you open your e-mail, it may not work because the file it needs was not closed properly.That is a simplistic example; your computer is most likely running 50-100 processes at any given time, so shutting down properly makes sure that all of those things are shut down properly as well before Windows shuts the power down to the computer.
