Automatically end hung applications



August 25th, 2007

Excellent Windows XP tip on gHacks:

Open your registry and navigate to the key

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

and change the value from the key ‘AutoEndTask’ to 1. If you want to set a time to wait until the kill process is executed you need to change the value of the key ‘WaitToKillAppTimeout’ to a value in milliseconds which means 1000 would be 1 second.
