- Start Regedit.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control.

- Right click on it and select Modify.
- Set it a value lower than 2000. (setting it to 200 is best practise)
Like previous versions of windows, it takes long time to restart or shutdown
windows xp when the “Exit Windows” sound is enabled. to solve this problem
- you must disable this useless sound.
- click start button then go to settings -> control panel -> Sound,Speech and Audio devices -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Sounds, then
- Under program events and windows menu click on “Exit Windows” sub-menu and
highlight it. - Now from sounds you can select,choose “none” and then click apply and
ok.
Now you can see some improvements when shutting down your system.
