CHANGE DEFAULT SHUTDOWN TIME

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control

Look for "WaitToKillServiceTimeout", by default, it is set to 12000 milliseconds(I think)

Change this value to anywhere from 2000-5000, that is 2-5 seconds.

I set to 2000 and had no problems(your experience may vary)

and simply you can download the registry file too it will change the default timings to 2000 and you can have default settings too by downloading the second registry file..
