After doing all the following, it;s still the same.

My Centrino 1.6 takes 20 seconds to shut down

i think fastest way to close your pc without losing any files is by HIBERNATING your pc.

wats that?mind to explain

i hear that if u continually to hibernate instead of shutting down, ur computer wil begin to slow down, maybe due to memory management issue as you never really release all the memory in hibernating as in shutting down.

does this argument hold water?

wah is that true ??? hibernat oso danger??? better if shutdown la issit?

Eh, if i'm not mistaken, i've set it to 0 once.. and, my window can't even be booted.. why ? I think it's because of that 0.

so, some software that claim they can speed up start up and shut down process oso doin the same thing eh?

^ I don't think this tweak is for startup process.. this tweak is for killing apps and services, not starting it..

if u wan fast, press "ctrl+alt+del" bring out the task manager,
hold down ur "ctrl" key, go to "shutdown" --> "turn off", u will turn off ur pc instantly just like u pull off the power cable

but again, XP wont save changes

by doing this.. will it cause our system to be inconsistent in soime way? as it forcefully shut down some application b4 it end

this will do harm to your files rite? i do this when im too lazy to wait for it at night

so it is better to shutdown or hibernate???
I also found out if the hibernate portion is contiguous, then the startup and the hibernating procedure is faster.
i personally always use hibernate, only once in awhile shutdown.

Better use shutdown, don't always overtime your computer memory usage..., yes it makes you shutdown your computer faster depend what your computer is now...

But...,

hibernate..., no different better shutdown because hibernate only restart your computer and start at the same thing just like you are monitored on Windows..., for what ?? just hibernates... ??

Depends on ur hdd rpm and how badly fragged the hdd is.

After doing all this, it's still need about 25 seconds to shut down.

WHY

Mayb u have too many programs running in the back ground and it takes time to shut them all down.

lol.. I set my windows play a mp3(I converted it to wav) when shutting down... and it need to wait until the whole song finish only can proceed the shut down. (But I still loving it unique! )

i set mine from 20000 to 18000, just as precaution.. faster a bit only .h.ehehe

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control >
Session Manager > Memory Management > PrefetchParameters
- modify EnablePrefetcher value to 1

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control
- change WaitToKillServiceTimeout value to 4000

- HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Control Panel > Desktop
- change AutoEndTasks value to 1
- change HungAppTimeout value to 4000


all that default value is ?

no lar.....should be pulling d plug
