Automatically Terminate Hung programs


When programs lock up or stop
responding, you are forced to [Ctrl] + [Alt]
+ [Delete] > End Process. This tweak lets
Windows automatically shut down hung
programs. In the Registry Editor, browse
to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control
Panel\Desktop. You will find a String
Value called AutoEndTasks. Double-click
on it and change the value to “1”. You can
also set the timeout value by doubleclicking
on the WaitToKillApp Timeout
String Value and changing its value to the
time in milliseconds before Windows kills
the task.
