None of my programs close properly when I just shut down my computer.
Is there something I can do to change this?

You can edit a setting in the registry to slap them out of Not
Responding and end immediately.

1. Start > Run, type regedit and press OK.
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. Edit the
following keys:

AutoEndTasks: Default is 0, make it 1

You'll need to reboot to make it take effect. Hope it helps.
