disable "end program"

[mike-ca]

I want to power off my computer, however since some applications are
open, i got a "End Program" dialog box says "the system cannot end this
program because it is waiting for a response from you... click End
Now", is there a way i can build my XPE with that feature disabled.


thanks

mike,

You don't necessarily want to remove component(s) responsible for that feature. Btw, the component is "Client / Server Runtime
(Console)".

But you can disable the wait. Then values you are going to be interested in are as follows:
[HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop],"AutoEndTasks"="1" (string)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/regentry/34615.mspx?mfr=true
and
[HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop],"WaitToKillAppTimeout"="20000" (string, 20 sec is default) (set this to 0 if above doesn't help you to
fix the issue)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/regentry/34637.mspx?mfr=true
[HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop],"HungAppTimeout"="5000" (string, 5 sec is default) (set this to 0 if above doesn't help you to fix the
issue)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/regentry/34625.mspx

All three values are brought by "Windows API - User" component.
("AutoEndTasks"="0" by default)
