Shutdown Windowx XP Faster
===========================

When a user shuts down Windows XP, first the system has to kill all services currently running.
Every once in a while the service does not shut down instantly and windows gives it a change to shut down on its own before it kills it.
This amount of time that windows waits is stored in the system registry.
If you modify this setting, then windows will kill the service earlier.

To modify the setting, follow the directions below:

Code:

Start Regedit. 

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control. 

Click on the "Control" Folder. 

Select "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" 

Right click on it and select Modify. 

Set it a value lower than 2000 (Mine is set to 200).

Anyone a novice at messing about with the registry, ought to make a backup :P
Don't blame me if you mess your system up !

Hi GSD, I don't know if it is only for me, but the ClearPageFileAtShutdown value is already 0 in my Registry. I haven't installed any Tweak utilities nor I did play with the Registry earlier. Can anybody please confirm if they got the same result or not? Thanks. :)

If you want to make a dramatic decrease in shutdown time, try the "Clear Page File At Shutdown" hack. It clears by default

Me thinks there's a clue there. ;)
