ShutDownXP Fast -=--=--=--=--=- Every wanna reboot or shut down faster?? Well read more! it worked for me :) Go to Start --> Run and type Regedit Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control Click on the "Control" Folder. In the right window you will see this key WaitToKillServiceTimeout; Double click that key and set it a value lower than 2000- we set it to 100. Reboot. Please back up your registry before making any changes. Good luck! Source:xp-erience
