Fast shutdown

In today’s world time is money and money as everybody knows is everything. People don’t have time nowadays. They are so busy with their work that they hardly have time to breath. In such situation what I am tying to do is provide my readers with a process by which the ‘shut down’ time of their PC can be minimized i.e. simply the computer will shut down quickly. The process is simple but since it is related to the registry of the OS, it should be carefully done. Any change in wrong place may cause instability of the system.

The process is as follows:
Go to registry (click start->run, type regedit and enter)
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
In the right pane of the registry make following changes

  • Change the value of AutoEndTasks to 1
  • Change the value of WaitToKillAppTimeout to 200
  • Change the value of HungAppTimeout to 200

And that’s it. Now, shut down your computer and see if it really works.
