To allow Windows XP to close non-responsive applicable

To allow Windows XP to close non-responsive applicable

To allow Windows XP to close non-responsive applications automatically upon shutdown:

In the above method we decrease the time of shut down of applications,
but by this tweak, Windows XP can be set to close crashed applications automatically. While this does not technically speed up the shut down process, it does streamline it, and ensure that the user will not give the shutdown command then get up and leave, only to find the PC still powered on because Windows never received input on what to do with a hung application.

Open REGEDIT and navigate to ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop’

Highlight the value ‘AutoEndTasks.’

Change the value to ‘1'

XP will now be able to close hung applications without user input during the shutdown process.
