WinXP doesn't wait for programs to end on Reboot/Logoff

[VtheLion]

Hello ALL-

After running the program PC Accelerator, my computer shuts down (now)
without waiting for any running programs to end properly... Seems like they
are getting Forced to end...

I have not found the tweak in PC Accelerator, but if anyone knows how to set
it back to normal with or without PC Accelerator it would be great.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Automatically Close Applications Not Responding at Shutdown

When an application fails to respond during shutdown a dialog box is
displayed prompting the user to either end it now or to wait. Enabling the
value AutoEndTasks will take care of the non-responding application without
user intervention. This is often referred to as "Force Exit".

This edit automatically ends tasks and timeouts that prevent programs from
shutting down and clears the Paging File on Exit.
