The same Registry settings are used for shutdown with Windows 7 as with XP so they can be modified in the same way. Click Start and enter ‘regedit’ (without the quotes). Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control in the left panel and double-click WaitToKillService Timeout on the right.
Change the value to 10000 (10 seconds) or lower for a faster shutdown. You can also go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\ Desktop and click Edit, New String Value. Name it WaitToKillAppTimeout, double-click it and set the value to 10000 (10 seconds).
Don’t use very small values as it’s best to give programs time to shut down on their own.
