you mean if these programs run on startup and you want to make them dont start at startup, you can run regedit(start/run then type regedit and enter). on the regedit go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Run then delete the key which makes the program start. If you mean to hack the program then use this program free, its too hard to say it here.

If you aren't tech savvy enough to know how to pinpoint the problem, your easiest solution is probably to download RegScrub XP at http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2048\n- Once you have it installed, run it.\n- Click on the "Misc..." button in the upper right corner.\n- Find and select the Tweak labeled "Shutdown XP faster"\n- Click the button labeled "Modify".\n- Exit RegScrubXP.\n\nWindows should now shut down without showing the end now box.

Did you leave it open when you shut the computer down?\n\nMsconfig is not a healthy alternative to disabling applications in windows xp. Service settings are global. Be sure of what you are doing before you screw something up.

Are you running Windows?\n\nIn Windows, you can use the schedule service to run a program at a specified time. (Start->Settings->Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks)\n\nYou can use the app shutdown.exe that comes with Windows XP to do the shutdown.

You are probably shutting it down when you still have some programs running. Close all programs by yourself before shutting it down.

Try freeware CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com .  It will erase history, cookies, cache, temp files and lots of other assorted garbage.  It's a terrific registry cleaner also.\n\nIt can be set to run in automatic mode on every bootup if you want.

You don't say what OS you are using. If you are using Windows 2000 then autodisconnect when idle is the default setting. To disable autodisconnect in Windows 2000 follow the instructions shown in the link below\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/138365\n\nBasically it says go to start-> run, type in cmd->enter & at the prompt type net config server /autodisconnect:-1

I don't think you can write protect the registry but if you could you shouldn't!!!  The registry is constantly being updated.  You can back up the registry if you want. The computer will quit working if the registry can not be written to.

Try removing programs that you don't use. There may be something shutting down in the background that you don't know is running. Also get a good spy-ware removal software such as Spyware Doctor. There could be hundreds of little spy programs running without your knowledge. When Windows shuts down it must first shut down all of the programs that you have running.

Might be an easier way:\n\nClick Start, go to programs, then go to Startup and see if it's starting in there.\n\nOtherwise press {windows key} + {pause break}, go to Advanced tab, then to environment variables button, and then look under system variables for any reference to that name - then delete it.\n\nIf this doesn't work, post back because you may have to check the registry.

i dunno about the lock-up thing.. but the shutdown thing MIGHT BE the infamous remote procedure call error (RPC) (that is.. if u r using XP).. It would give a countdown before shutting down the pc. It is becos of a goddamned worm. Try running an antivirus scan to flush out the worm.
