Level: Recommended For Novice Users

Description:
This setting permit you to shutdown the computer without trying to safely exit any non-responding application (killing immediately every executing process). If this setting is disabled, and some applications are not responding while you are trying to shutdown, windows will show an error message for every hanging application in wich you can chose to "end the process" or "cancel" (in this way the shutdown process will be suspended). For this go to "start->run" and enter "regedit" and search the keys listed below. You can create one dword value "autoendtasks", if this value is not existing. Now you can set this value to "1" for ending non-responding programs immediately at shutdown. The changes take effect after a restart. Note: this tweak only influences the current user session. You can also define the default time-out in milliseconds (that is the time used to terminate a process) with the string value "waittokillapptimeout" in the same key listed below.(default value= 20000 ms) When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
