Yea too bad I clear my pagefile at shutdown. It sometimes takes 5 mins to shutdown. I usually just turn it off and walk away.

No, I don't think it's a good idea. When you do such thing, you may damage your computer. For example, if you have an database server installed on your PC, and i need time to save the information to the disk before shutdown, and the OS force it to be ended. You may lose the data. ...Anyway, it's ok for personal PC without any special data or services.

Yea seems good, but I never need it to shutdown quickly so I probably wont bother. But for people who like everything to hop along as fast as possible, good stuff

I don's ever use shutdown. Hibernate rulz! Do you use Hibernating? I think it's the best option for shutting down comptuer. I always do some work at comeputer, and shutting down means a long time of booting, and again starting applications like photoshop that need time to load. That all takes too much time so I use hibernate. [+] Shortcut for Hibernating when you hit start + Turn off computer... is Shift + H[+] If you then don't have Hibernate button you must enable it. To enable Hibernate go to start > settings > control panel > display (icon) > screen saver (tab) > power (button) > hibernate (tab) > and finally check the button "hibernate".[+] Advantages of hibernating are many, but the main thing about hibernate is: if you don't have enough space on your hard drive you might not be able to use it.

it will cause abnormal program shutdown, it's bad for the OS and maybe the hard drive, I don't recommend it.xboxrulz

Err, I guess it's a nice tutorial, but I dont see the point. Maybe I'm just lucky, but when I tell my PC to shut down, it shuts down. I can click it and walk out of the room and come back hours later to find it off and ready to be used again. I suppose the only practical use would be if you plan on turning the 'puter on and off in a short timespan. If not, I'd be weary of this. I'm sure the extra time it saves is used for something: saving files, closing programs correctly, etc. Although a nice tip, it just doesnt seem (to me) logical.
