Windows Shutdown Speed Up

Used Windows Shutdown Speed Up for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 7, 2008

Windows Shutdown Speed Up promises to give users the power to close down their computer much faster by altering its settings. Instead, we found a program that took too much time to try and understand.

This freeware presents itself with a simple-to-operate menu. It offers to evaluate your Window's shutdown settings, change your windows shutdown settings and return to default settings. These three simple cues make this program appear easy, but in reality its function is quite a mystery.

Checking your settings gives you a red X or a green check mark, but the descriptions are in such broken English it is difficult to know what you are doing right or wrong. Changing the settings proves equally concerning since selecting between two settings causes a warning menu to pop up saying, "As this program can't working in some computer." Once again, users might be baffled as to what this means.

Overall, we cannot recommend Windows Shutdown Speed Up because of the lack of clear communication between the designer and the user, as well as the baffling error messages. There are many programs aimed to speed up your system or help ease shut down, we recommend looking elsewhere before settling for this download.

Just what I needed

Pros
This is the best solution I have found to cut out long delays in shutting down. Earlier comments re installation problems are irrelevant as a normal istaller is now downloaded.
Cons
None so far. Whether it will have long term adverse effects it's still too early to say, but that shouldn't happen as the programme seems to work by modifying some registry entries.
Summary
Shutdown of my XP was taking 2-3 minutes. I tried various recommendations for tweaking registry entries with no effect at all. Then I came across this programme: it works! I now have almost instantaneous shutdown. The programme firstly saves your default registry (with the option to revert to that} then a second step modifes the settings. Each step is very fast. Heartfelt thanks to the creator of this freebie.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2009<p/>Post script: sadly after several fast shutdowns things have returned to the normal long wait.

Pros
I have not yet tried using this software, but this is more of a response to my friend Zane77 who had a spot of bother with the program. Folks, he's right, but....if you pay attention, you will see that the file downloaded has two extensions .msi.txt...<p>What you need to do is simply rename it and take out the .txt portion of the name away and you should be left with a working Microsoft Install file that you can use to install this application on your system. Well, now I'll have a go at the program to see if it is any good. Best wishes to all....
Cons
We will see.
Summary
This program will not work.

When you click download now all that will download is a text file, so this is not a program text file only.
