| Dear Martin,
| This fix will allow the end task menu to automaticly end the program for
you

me

|
| Automatically Kill Programs At Shutdown:
| Click Start
| Click run
| Type in the box regedit (hit enter)
| Navigate on the left side tree to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder
| Navigate on the left side tree to the Control Panel folder
| Navigate on the left side tree to the Desktop folder
| On the right side of the page there is an entry that says AutoEndTasks
| (double click this)
| When the value box appears, change the value from 0 to 1 and hit ok
| Exit regedit and your problem is solved.
