Forcing Shutdown - Win7 (thru registry)

[leSLIe]

I want to force shutdown of Win7 (SP1), because it gets really annoying to click "Force Shutdown" to close the background appz everytime I shutdown my PC

I can use a shortcut with "shutdown /f /s /t 0" but that is still not a good solution.
Is there a way to force that option in the windows registry?

In REGEDIT navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\
Highlight the WaitToKillAppTimeout value.
Set it to 1000.
Now highlight the HungAppTimeout value
Set it to 1000′ also.

Also apply this for all users
In REGEDIT go to to ‘HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
Highlight the WaitToKillAppTimeout value.
Set it to 1000.
Now highlight the HungAppTimeout value.
Set it to 1000.

This will make it wait only 1 second to kill anyopen apps.
