Shutdown Time For Services To Close
Often times when
XP is shutting down a dialog appears saying the system is waiting
for a service to close. This tweak will reduce (or increase) the
amount of time that expires before this warning appears. In some
cases it may be desirable to allow the service more time, but most
often a shorter delay is desirable. The lower the number entered the
quicker the task will end.
