    Default Reduce shut down time through regedit

    I just got a new netbook. It takes a pretty long time to shut down.
    I typed "regedit" in the 'Run' and I changed some numbers there to quicken the shut down time. I did this by referring to a couple of websites.
    What should I do? What numbers are the best to put in? I know those numbers represent milliseconds or something.
    Can anyone help?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Randomly editing your registry without knowing what you're doing = bad.

    There is a thread on NBR, NBRVistaTips andTweaks, has a bit in it about reducing your shutdown time.

    "We are unable to announce the weather. We depend on weather reports from the airport, which is closed, due to weather. Whether we will be able to give you a weather report tomorrow will depend on the weather."

    I went to a restaurant that serves 'breakfast at any time'. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.

    Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have messed around with it.

    As Les suggest', don't mess with the shutdown time too much, because Vista needs some time for shut off every thing. I wouldn't go beyond 5000, if you really want to reduce it. Though I must say, I haven't changed it (one of the things I passed on in the awesome guide from Les) and its fine for me. Wonder why some are worried about wanting to shutdown Vista in like 2 seconds!!!!!! Just let it do its normal thing, and I can tell you it doesn't take a 'long' time to shutdown.

    I have XP, not Vista.
    By the way, which values should I put 1000 to? The Hung...and the Wait..
    I forgot the names. Sorry.

    That extra shutdown time comes in handy. I've forgot to save word documents and its saved an hour of work.
