Hit Enter<br><br>Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l] On the right panel look for the "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" string and change it value to 1000 by right clicking the string and selecting Modify...<br><br>Default Value WaitToKillServiceTimeout=20000<br><br>Modified value WaitToKillServiceTimeout=5000<br>Modified value WaitToKillServiceTimeout=1000 (extreme, use it at your own risk)<br><br>I found 3000 worked nicely but try the 5000 first. 3000 does sometimes leave some programs lagging which then need a further key click.Mon, 10 Dec 2007 23:22:40 GMTJason
