You want to close your applications automatically and quickly come Shutdown-Time?
The following registry settings will help you achieve improvements.
| Hive: |
HKEY_CURRENT_USER |
| Key: |
Control Panel\Desktop |
| Name: |
AutoEndTasks |
| Type: |
REG_SZ |
| Value: |
0 = Processes are not ended automatically.
The system waits until the process ends and, if the time
it takes to end the process exceeds the value of
HungAppTimeout, the End Task
dialog box appears, stating that the application cannot
respond to the End Task request. |
| Value: |
1 = Processes are ended automatically. |
Basically that’s all you need.
To possibly speed things up even further, you could reduce the time it takes for Windows to
issue the Kill directive to all active and/or hung applications.
In order to do this, adjust the following registry values:
| Hive: |
HKEY_CURRENT_USER |
| Key: |
Control Panel\Desktop |
| Name: |
HungAppTimeout |
| Type: |
REG_SZ |
| Value: |
5000 = Default Number of milliseconds in decimal.
This setting determines how long the system waits for
user processes to end in response to the End Task command
in Task Manager. If this threshold is exceeded,
the End Task dialog box appears,
stating that the process did not respond.
When changing this value make sure the
value remains greater than the value defined for
WaitToKillAppTimeout. |
| Hive: |
HKEY_CURRENT_USER |
| Key: |
Control Panel\Desktop |
| Name: |
WaitToKillAppTimeout |
| Type: |
REG_SZ |
| Value: |
20000 = Default Number of milliseconds in decimal. (20 seconds)
This setting Determines how long the system waits for
user processes to end after the user attempts to log off
or to shut down Windows 2000/XP.
If this threshold is exceeded, the End Task dialog box appears,
stating that the process did not respond or,
if AutoEndTasks is enabled, the system ends the process
automatically.
When changing this value make sure the
value remains smaller than the value defined for
HungAppTimeout. |
