How to Improve Windows XP Shutdown Speed


Hi frnds,many times you can see ur pc took very much time to shutdown.Now iam gvng you the trick how you can shutdown your pc quickly without any damage or loosing the data.In some cases computers running with Windows Xp takes too much time to shutdown and repeatedly annoy users with pop-up messages asking if you really want to quit the applications. This problem is mainly due to applications that install services that start at Windows XP boot time and then take a very long time to stop and sometimes time out when Windows is being shut down. No matter how fast your pcshuts down, it's not fast enough. This tweak reduces the time Windows-XP waits before automatically closing any running program when you give it the command to shutdown.

How to Improve Your Computers Shutdown And Reboot Speed?

For speeding up your shutdown and reboot time in Windows XP, you need to edit some registary settings. Follow the steps as given below:

1. Go to Start then select Run

2. Type 'Regedit' and click ok
3. Find 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\'

4. Select 'WaitToKillAppTimeout'

5. Right click and select 'Modify'

6. Change the value to '1000'

7. Click 'OK'
8. Now select 'HungAppTimeout'

9. Right click and select 'Modify'


10. Change the value to '1000'

11. Click 'OK'


When you complete the above steps, you will find your Windows startup and shutdown faster than before.

Warning: Modifying the Windows registry can cause serious damage to your Windows Operating System. It is better to backup your Windows registrydata before making any changes. I am not responsible for any changes you may make to your system.
