Regedit, You may be thinking "Regedit, what the hell is that?!" or if you have a reasonable amount of experience with computers "Oh awesome a page about what this program is.
What is Regedit?
Regedit is basically a program that lets you edit ceratin values in your computer (short for "Registry Editor"). BEWARE, DON'T JUST PLAY AROUND IN REGEDIT, SOME THINGS CAN SERIOUSLY HARM YOUR COMPUTER IF CHANGED OR REMOVED. You can do really cool things with it such as remove buttons on your computer .e.g remove the shutdown option or make a message appear at startup.
Before you do anything you will need to know how to access the program.:
So first go to your start menu
Then click run
Now type "regedit"
==================================================
Open Regedit
(Fast Shutdown for Windows Vista)
Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control] On the right panel look for the "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" string and change it value to 1000 by right clicking the string and selecting Modify...
Default Value WaitToKillServiceTimeout=20000
Modified value WaitToKillServiceTimeout=5000
Modified value WaitToKillServiceTimeout=1000 (extreme, use it at your own risk)
I found 3000 worked nicely but try the 5000 first. 3000 does sometimes leave some programs lagging which then need a further key click.
==================================================
(Customize Internet. Explorer Title bar)
This tip won't make your computer any faster but may help personalize your computer experience.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet. Explorer\Main. In right hand panel look for string "Window Title" and change its value to whatever custom text you want to see.
==================================================
(Kill Processes immediately)
When logging off, you sometimes get an “End Task” dialog prompt, indicating a program that doesn’t shut itself down. You can suppress the prompts and have Windows kill these programs automatically when you log off. In regedit, find key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop Look for the value AutoEndTasks, and change it from 0 to 1.
==================================================
(No Shutdown)
Wanna play with your friends by removing the shutdown option from start menu in their computer.
Regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
"NoClose"="DWORD:1"
==================================================
If you want learn about regedit, go to google and search regedit.

Enjoy mess around with your computer.
