My computer is dragging its ass big time. It takes forever to turn a page or post a comment. What I'd like to know is...if I shut down my computer for about 30 minutes(it's been folding since last Sunday) will it be ok when I start it back up? Also, I have to figure a way to stop that stupid damn rolling around flashlight from showing up ever few seconds. It's been popping on my screen for the last few weeks and I'm tired of it. It keeps showing 'Autoplay'

Back to my question. If I shut it down...will it be ok?

Yes. As a matter of course, I tend to reboot my machines every few days "just cuz" and, you'll note, it hasn't affected my status. It will go back to your latest checkpoint, which if using the gui and default options occured within the last 15 minutes. You will lose all work to your last checkpoint, again it occured not so long ago.
