Request for help finding an old DC forum post
40hz:
Don't know about the post, but the reg_keys you might be most interested in are:
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
Entry: WaitToKillServiceTimeout
Type: REG_SZ
Default Value: 12000
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Entry: WaitToKillAppTimeout
Type: REG_SZ
Default Value: start with 3000
Note: this entry is not always there so it may need to be created
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Entry: AutoEndTasks
Type: REG_SZ
Default Value: 1
Note: this entry is not always there so it may need to be created.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Luck! :Thmbsup:

40hz, those are the kinds of values i'm talking about.. i wonder if i just imagined that thread..

FWIW, a lot of "speed up" tweak utilities reduce that 12 seconds on the WaitToKillServiceTimeout setting. I've seen that cause problems even though reducing it does speed up shutdowns and reboots.
