How to speed up XP shutdown process?

How to speed up XP shutdown process?

Do not clear page file at shutdown by checking the following registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management "1" -> "0"

Close all programmes/services you open manually before shutdown. XP takes up to 20 seconds to close single program/service.
You may speed it up by editing the registry value to decrease the value (1 second in this example).

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WaitToKillAppTimeout "20000" -> "1000"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WaitToKillServiceTimeout "20000" -> "1000"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\HungAppTimeout "5000" -> "1000"
