But, your disclaimer sounds scary. To others, tweaking registry is something that all windows users should know. Just open up regedit and play with it. :) You will find that there're so many things you can do with registry. Thanks for the tips, Leo. But, your disclaimer sounds scary.

I can't seem to find it now, but I know which keys it is. So a quick ad hoc tutorial....lol! Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] Value: WaitToKillAppTimeOut Recommended value is between 200 and 1000 (milliseconds). Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] Value Name: HungAppTimeout Recommended value is 1000 (milliseconds). Disclaimer: These tweaks are only for advanced users. If you mess this up in any way, you might lose your OS, so do a backup! Hey Enrii,
