Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Instead of t 00, use t 20 to create a 20 second delay.

Thank you for your reply.
Can I make the shutdown wait 15 or 20 seconds? I want a resource hog
programme to shut prperly before Windows shutdown, though I dont want
it to hang Windows and remain thus for a long time. Can you pls tell
the parameter to make the shutdown wait 20 seconds?
Regards

I am using the command, C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 00 to

parameter should I add to make it force shutdown disregard of
non-responding programmes?
Thanx in advance

-f Forces running applications to close without warning

C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t 00
