Speed up your computer's shutdown time 2

This hack will effectively speed up your shut down time. Have you ever clicked the Restart button, then, after 30 minutes or so, come back to see a dialog box saying "Do you want to End this program?" Or something like that, giving you the End Now or cancel box? How rude! It doesn't even turn off my computer when it is told to! Then, you have to click End Now to a series of dialog boxes before it actually turns off. This hack will automatically end these programs for you, so you don't have to waste time clicking a bunch of buttons:




1. Click Start > Run, type regedit, followed by enter.

2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.

3. Double-click the value AutoEndTasks and then change the value to 1.

4. Close regedit.
