♣How to Reduce the Shut down time in Windows XP♠

The first and foremost step in the journey is to go to the ‘Start’ and then click ‘Run’.

In the box that appears, type “regedit” and then click on ‘OK’ to open the registry editor.

Now, navigate to the path HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Control Panel > Desktop.

Navigate again to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control and double-click on the ‘WaitToKillServiceTimeout’ item from the right side.

Set the ‘Value data’ to 1000 and click ‘OK’.

Next, we need to edit another option. Navigate to HKEY_USERS > DEFAULT > Control Panel > Desktop from the left side.

On reaching to that find out HungAppTimeout.

Now, set the ‘Value data’ to 1000 and click OK.

Search for another item called WaitToKillAppTimeout and set the ‘Value data’ to 1000 and click OK.
