Increasing shutdown speed by reducing wait times part 1

Change the HungAppTimeout and/or WaitToKillAppTimeout Values - 95.
Open REGEDIT and navigate to 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\'
Highlight the 'WaitToKillAppTimeout' value.
Set it to '1000' (the default should be 20000).
Now highlight the 'HungAppTimeout' value
Set it to '1000' also.

Please notice that tip #96. Increasing shutdown speed by reducing wait times part 2 on the same page gives instructions for changing the same settings, but for All Users of the computer.
