How to Shutdown Xp Faster
Posted on July 31st, 2008 No commentsWindows XP is a line of proprietary operating systems developed by Microsoft for use on general-purpose computer systems, including home and business desktops, notebook computers, and media centers.
The Reason Why XP Takes Long To Shut Down, It Takes Long To Kill Apps
To shut down Windows XP faster you need to do some changes in your registry.
1. Click Start menu button -> Run…
2. Type in regedit and hit Enter.
3. Go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER] -> [Control Panel] -> [Desktop].
4. Now you must look for [HungAppTimeout] and [WaitToKillAppTimeout]. Make sure that [HungAppTimeout] is set to 5000.
5. Double click [WaitToKillAppTimeout] and set its value to 4000.
Click OK.
5. Now navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> System -> CurrentControlSet -> Control.
6. Double click WaitToKillServiceTimeout and set its value to 4000.

Click OK.
