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
 
Thanks a lot !
I found it myself.
For YOUR info now!

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".


To Implement for All Users

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: AutoEndTasks
Modify/Create the Value Name [AutoEndTasks] according to the Value Data
listed below.
Value Data: [0 = AutoEndTasks Disabled / 1 = AutoEndTasks Enabled]
Exit Registry and Reboot

To Implement for Individual Users

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: AutoEndTasks
Modify/Create the Value Name [AutoEndTasks] according to the Value Data
listed below.
Value Data: [0 = AutoEndTasks Disabled / 1 = AutoEndTasks Enabled]
Exit Registry and Reboot
 
Old news.....however think of the contrast: Accelerator = how to slow down?
