Hi,

What can I do to speed up the shutdown of my Vista Ultimate ?

At the moment it takes a long time to shut my PC down.

Regards,

Jerry

Note: Create a system Restore Point before doing anything else. Modifying
the registry can cause your system to crash, Use it at your own risk, I am
not responsible for any damage this may cause to our system, so create a
restore point, backup, etc.

Open Regedit (WINDOWS KEY + R on your keyboard, or by clicking Start/Run)
and type "regedit" without quotes.

Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control] On the
right panel look for the "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" string and change it
value to 1000 by right clicking the string and selecting Modify...

Default Value WaitToKillServiceTimeout=20000

Modified value WaitToKillServiceTimeout=1000
