Trick to Shutdown Xp Faster!!

[ftvfatboy]

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).

Well it may lead to system crash
so use this trick at your own risk

If the program doesnt get time to savinfo
and that progggy is a system one
the you are doomed
it happened with me
I had set to 500

It can even damage the harddisk, its not my thought i read it on another forum, some peeps said that windows clean up most of the swapfle after we execute the shutdown command, if windows shutdowns during the process in which the hdd head continueously reading/writing to clean the swap file then it can damage it. Its not always happens but the probability increases as much as you reduce the time. So be careful what you do.

1000 is the idle time
As guttu and sohaibrazzaq said the problem will asrise
So dont set the value less than 1000
