This will instruct Windows to automatically end programs which don't close on time during shutdown/restart/log off (it's like automatically pressing the "End Now" button). The user will not be prompted to end the program, as the "End Program" window will not appear anymore. Unsaved data will be lost.

Contents of Autoend.reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"AutoEndTasks"="1"

Editing the registry may damage your system. Use at your own risk!
