Improve your computer's shutdown performance tip..

This tip will improve your computer's shutdown time...

1) Open Registry by going to START->RUN and typing REGEDIT.
2) Double click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER
3) Double click on CONTROL PANEL
4) Just Single click on DESKTOP and look for 'AutoEndTasks' in the right pan.
5) Set its value 1
6) Click OK button.

'AutoEndTask' default value = 0

Further more you can reduce the time it takes for Windows to issue kill directive to all active/hung applications.

In doing this only constraint that you should make sure exists is that HungAppTimeout is greater than WaitToKillAppTimeout. Change the values of WaitToKillAppTimeout to say 3500 (since default value for HungAppTimeout 5000 and for WaitToKillAppTimeout is 20000).
