Tweaking Shutdown for Quick
My 32-bit Professional installation is awfully gimpy about shutting down.
what hangs it up?
how do I pick up some esprit there?
by contrast, my x64 Ultimate rig is like "Bam!" and its off.

BACK UP REGISTRY FIRST, THIS IS IMPORTANT
JonM33 is right, don't resort to tweaking the registry in the early sign of PC problems.
I will suggest way to shutdown PC faster. Before shutting down make sure you saved all your works first because this will be really quick shut down without registry tweaking.
Here is the way (this is applicable also to XP & Vista):
1. Open Task Manager (ctrl + alt + del)
2. Click the SHUTDOWN tab
3. Hold CTRL on the keyboard & click TURN OFF
That's it!
Shutdown delays are logged in Performance>Diagnostics log at Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Performance Information and Tools\Advanced Tools.
Google repeat errors from this log and the Event Viewer>Admin view to learn more about how others have resolved them.
There is a shut down option under on the bottom right of the screen (the red button)
It's an emergency shut down - not technically part of task manager
