    Waiting For Background Programs to Return :(


    Beleive it or not, I actually like the new Windows 7 waiting for background programs to close message. Unfotunately, it appears to have been replaced with the old XP style dialog box below it. Not quite sure, but I think applying a tweak in Ultimate Windows Tweaker may have caused this to start happening. Does anyone know how to return it to the Windows 7 version? Thanks, appreciated :)

    I have no idea whats changed it Noel. The only thing I think may have changed it, is Ultimate Windows Tweaker (performance tab), but I figured out what it changes using Process Monitor, namely:

    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\WaitToKillServiceTimeout
    HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\HungAppTimeout
    HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WaitToKillAppTimeout
    HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\MenuShowDelay
    HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\AutoEndTasks

    I've checked microsoft technet and set all the above values to their defaults, but I still seem to get the old XP style message.
