I have added some new tweaks to my Tweaks.reg file in my unattended XP CD, they seem to be causing me some issues, my computer now takes almost 3 years to shutdown or restart.

The entries in the code box below are the new entries, I have tried the installation without these and shutting down or restarting is fine.

Here is my main Tweak.reg file, the above tweaks have been removed. Tweaks.reg

EDIT:

I have been messing around and I changed the entry below from 5000 to 1000, this matches it up with the "WaitToKillAppTimeout" tweak, it seems now my computer shutdown instantly.. well it should no doubt. I am now adding the all the new tweaks back in + this "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" tweak to see if it makes any changes.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]
"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="1000"
