Posted by Shyam | Posted in Technology, Windows | Posted on 05-06-2009
Windows XP will be shutting down in a normal pace even on high speed machines also as it tries to kill all the processes. We can use registry tweaks to enhance the windows shutdown mechanism.
Open Registry Editor by typing Regedit command in Run of windows Start button.
- Navigate to HKEY Current User\Control Panel\Desktop
- Double click on the AutoEndTasks entry and replace the 0 with 1
- Check for entry WaitToKillAppTimeout exists or not, if doesn’t exist then create and edit the value to 2000
- Check for entry HungAppTimeout exists or not, if doesn’t exist then create and edit the value to 1000
Reboot your pc and you can realize your windows xp shuts down faster than earlier.
Note: Please save your applications before you go for shutdown otherwise it wont prompt you to save the work done in your applications. This tweak is to reduce the shutdown time by killing the processes running in background.
