You know the situation.. You want to shut down your computer, you wait a few moments, and then you see a dialog box asking if you want to kill an application or service that is running. Instead of prompting you, you can make Windows XP take care of the kill task automatically.
Here’s how:

  1. Open the Registry Editor. (Start -> Run -> Regedit.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.
  3. Highlight the value AutoEndTasks and change the value to 1.
  4. Close the Registry Editor.

Well thats it… when you done all the steps you machine will be shutting down most run faster…without ANY errors !!.
