how to change shutdown times

[billy2]

hi guys can anyone tell me how to change the shutdown time on window xp, have beening running tuneup utillities and it keeps telling me this.
the waiting time specified for a service to close at computer shutdown is very low (2seconds).after the specified
time,windows will force these services to close


recommended solution

increases the maximum waithing for the progam to 15 seconds

First create a new shortcut in your desktop, and when prompted to the path put
-%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 00 -f
This for immediatly shutdown
-%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00 -f
Restart
-%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -l -t 00 -f
To logoff
After that rename the shortcuts according to his functio and change the icons thats it
