How to Auto End Tasks to Enable a Proper Shutdown

Hello world! This reg file automatically ends tasks and timeouts that prevent programs from shutting down and clears the Paging File on Exit.

Step 1. Copy the following (everything in the box) into notepad.



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"ClearPageFileAtShutdown"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
"AutoEndTasks"="1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]
"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="1000"


Step 2. Save the file as shutdown.reg

Step 3. Double click the file to import into your registry.

Note: This tricks work with Widows Xp home Edition and Widows Xp Professional Edition, I might not tried this with any other Os except XP.
