How to speed up shutdown on Win XP

A little fiddling with the process itself can help you get the task done faster than usual

A reason for delay in system shutdown is XP cleaning the paging file (pagefile.sys). To shut down XP without clearing your paging file, run the Registry Editor (click Start > Run, then type regedit in Run box) and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\Current- ControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management. Change value of ClearPageFileAt-Shutdown to 0. Close Registry and restart your computer.
