To REALLY reduce your shutdown time. Start Regedit. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Control. Click on the “Control” Folder. Select “WaitToKillServiceTimeout” Right click on it and select Modify. The default value is 20000. Setting it to a lower 4 digit value, (say 5000) will make your PC shutdown faster, but you could end up losing data or cause possible disk corruption, so use this tweak judiciously. Remember, Windows does not in any case, recognize a 3-digit numeral here.

In my humble opinion, this program is no better than holding down the power button or unplugging power. AVOID this type of utility and let Windows shut down normally. If you are experiencing a problem with shutdown you might want to repair it instead of risking potential problems.

I Believe the two of you have sane views on the value of this program :)
