Faster XP Shut Downs

[c3p0]

If you want your XP machine to shut down a little faster, try this:


Windows XP has the service shutdown time set to 20000 ms which equals 20 secs. To change this go to regedit and change this key-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\WaitToKillServiceTimeout

setting it to 5-10sec should do the trick (that would be 5000-10000)

I set mine to 2000 and it shuts down a lot faster now.
