Speed Up Shutdown Times

It’s not only startup times that you’d like to speed up; you
can also make sure that your system shuts down faster. If shutting down XP takes
what seems to be an inordinate amount of time, here are a couple of steps you
can take to speed up the shutdown process:

Don’t have XP clear your paging file at shutdown

For security reasons, you can have XP clear your paging
file (pagefile.sys) of its contents whenever you shut
down. Your paging file is used to store temporary files and data, but when
your system shuts down, information stays in the file. Some people prefer to
have the paging file cleared at shutdown, because sensitive information such
as unencrypted passwords sometimes ends up in the file. However, clearing the
paging file can slow shutdown times significantly, so if extreme security
isn’t a high priority, you might not want to clear it. To shut down XP without
clearing your paging file, run the Registry Editor and go
to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory Management

Change the value of ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 0.
Close the Registry and restart your computer. Whenever you turn off XP
from now on, the paging file won’t be cleared, and you should be able
to shut down more quickly.

Turn off unnecessary services

Services take time to shut down, so the fewer you run, the faster you can
shut down. For information on how to shut them down,
