Have implemented this one .! Yeah its speed is fast to shutdown..! Nice tip friend.!My computer normally took 60-80 seconds before .. after this one it takes 40-50 seconds..! Great one..!

Do you normally need to speed down the shutdown? I dont see the big point. My computer shuts down in 10-15seconds so I probably dont see any problems anyway. But would you mind telling us what your actually doing here, its not enough just to tell us how, it would be nice to know what I am messing around with...Tralalalal - Nqon

You can also use Bootvis, that is a program by Microsoft who makes your whole pc, also your shutdown, faster. It's a great program!Google "Bootvis" a you can download it in a minute.

I posted this before about bootvis:

Please note that Bootvis.exe is not a tool that will improve boot/resume performance for end users. Contrary to some published reports, Bootvis.exe cannot reduce or alter a system's boot or resume performance. The boot optimization routines invoked by Bootvis.exe are built into Windows XP. These routines run automatically at pre-determined times as part of the normal operation of the operating system.

every time i type in run > regedit it comes up with command promt and does nothing, any one know why it does that and is there any other way in increasing shutdown??Can you speed up your computer to boot up faster or is it just shutdown??

Can you speed up your computer to boot up faster or is it just shutdown??

when you go to run --> type in regedit.exe instead of just regedit...older versions of windows require the ".exe" to be at the end of program commands

For Lightning fast shutdowns and bootups.. (i mean to boot in around 5 seconds) use ACPI S3.not all bios' support it, but for those that do, its great.its not a true shutdown.it halts all running programs, shifts the CPU registers to RAM, and powers down everything, all fans off, the front side bus stops (0hz) and the ram is put into an extremely low power state.booting is almost instant, just takes as long as it does my disk to spin up, and monitor to power on.

quijibow, are you talking about hibernating your computer? I know that hibernating does the same thing, but I've never heard it called ACPI S3. I really wish i could hibernate my computer, but there is something wrong with my motherboard, and it will not give power to the graphics card after resuming the computer.

hi, i think anyone who want to implemented this, should have a look at local gpo policy, there have a option that let you clear pagefile when shutdown computer.that will make this safey.however, doing this will make you pagefile in an non-consistent stated. and may be affect the running performance.be have administrative right, then, go start ==> run ==> type mmc, a new mmc console will open, go file ==> add snap-ins == > search a snap-ins call group policy ==> choose local computer. in the console, search for an item called clear pagefile when shutdown.

ACPI S3 is more like standby instead of hybernation, because it doesn't save your files or current state of your computer. Or does it? Did "shifts the CPU registers to RAM" mean that it saves it on this disk, qwijibow?

I think ACPI S3 is a more standard term, since the words standby and hybernate are only used by Windows so that the users will better understand what they mean. In other platforms, you may have to change the bios to use this feature.

Has hibernation ever worked on your computer? Or did something go wrong and suddenly you can't use it anymore?

Theres a ton of programs that are supposed to shut down your computer really quickly for you. These programs might or might not work, but the two I tried work well...anyways, what I end up using everyday is my plain old "Power" key on my keyboard lol It shuts it down in like 8 secs and is safe (so far) for me to use.

im using software to do so...

my computer usually take 2 min to shu down i thought my comp was slower but thanks to your coe once again

Alright I just tried this and added a few things to mine, and it clearly makes a difference. From about 30 seconds to shut down before, now it only takes about... 10 seconds compared to last time. It went to 8 after I changed a few things. So yeah, some good stuff, but I'm wondering, are any of these things safe to do? Doesn't the computer need its time to shut down for a reason? I hope it doesn't hurt my computer
