Shutdown - Force (using the shut down button)
This is starting to drive me nuts sometimes. I remote into my desktop at home from work sometimes and depending on applications, when I go for a reboot or shut the PC down, it hangs and I can't remote back in. A few days ago I waited 5 hours and had to go home to click "Force shutdown" on the prompt that Windows 7 had waiting for me.
This is sort of annoying, I can't always reboot or shut down a remote PC because of applications hanging. Is there something in the registry that I can change to where when I shut down or reboot, everything forces a close?
I've used Ultimate Windows Tweaker for vista and 7 to change the waiting period to 0, but it doesn't ever save.
