How to shutdown windows faster

1) Click on Start ----> Run

2) Type 'regedit' to open the Registry Editor

3) Follow this path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Control. From there find the WaitToKillServiceTimeOut string. Change its data from 20000 (default) to something lower like 10000 or even 5000. Please keep in mind that the computer value used here is milliseconds. After that's done close Registry Editor (regedit) and reboot your computer

 

Note: Do not play around with the registry entries here because you might end up screwing up windows operating system on your computer. If you want to alter the registry then try using a software to do that for you. Wintipz recommends TweakXP a software that alters the registry safely for you.
