If Windows cannot end a running task when shutting down, it requests the user to do so. This query is redundant in most cases and is not really required since you want to end the respective task anyway.
- Go to Start | Run
- Type regedit and click OK. Vista users can directly enter the command in the search line of the Start menu and press [Enter].
- Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop key.
- The AutoEndTasks value is given towards the right side of the window. If it is not given, create it by selecting Edit | New| Character string and name the entry AutoEndTasks. Open it and enter the Value Data as 1. Click on OK and restart the system.
This setting exclusively suppresses the operating system's query if it cannot end a task while shutting down. It does not reduce the time for which Windows waits until the task ends and thus does not really accelerate the process of system shutdown.
