Takes A Very Long Time To Shutdown!!

mhcampboy SG

Whenever I go to Start, Turn Off Computer and click,

my mouse cursor will turn into the hourglass icon. Then it will remain like that for about 5 mins or so before the Shutdown/Restart/LogOff menu appear.

Now whenever I wanna shut down, I will do it from ctrl alt del then sutdown from there.

What is wrong ar??

Using Fast Switching ability in XP?

If yes, it takes a while to log off all users before shutting down.

From TweakXp.com

1) Start - Run - Regedit
Navigate to the following Registry key:
HKEY CURRENT USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Double click on the AutoEndTasks entry and replace the 0 with a 1 in the Value data text box

For the next two, if the dword value indicated does not exist, create it:

Double click on the WaitToKillAppTimeout entry in the right pane and change the Value data to 2000

Double click on the HungAppTimeout entry in the right pane and change the Value data to 1000

Reboot

If still having a problem, make the next change:

2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
Right-click on WaitToKillServiceTimeout and change it to 2000

NOTE: The lowest value Windows will recognize is 1000 (1 second)

Fast user switching allows more than one user to log on.

When you click Log off from the Start menu, it asks whether to log off or switch user.

happens to me sometimes. most of the time i just switch off the power.

i know it's harmful to do that as the harddisk might still be writing data but i can't stand around whole day to wait for it to shutdown. Rolling Eyes
