Nikhil's View of the world

If you use Windows, There is every chance that you have felt the heat, when there are applications/software in your system that hang or turn irresponsive. Here is way to lessen the pain:

Terminating crashed Applications quick will not make you wait until the it closes by itself, you can change the wait time in system registry. To do this, Open Regedit and navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
and change the value of "HungAppTimeout" key to 500 or 1000

500 = .5 seconds

Hope this helps!
