Automatically Close any non-responsive programs

With a small registry tweak, Windows XP can be set to automatically close any program that 'stops responding' (crashes), eliminating the need for you to use the task manager to close down the offending software manually.

To do this:

1. Go to Run and type 'regedit' (without quotes) and press enter.
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Modify the REG_SZ entry AutoEndTasks with a value of 1

But one prob in this man...
It'll shutdown critical apps...
It'll not give enough time for critical apps to recover man.
More vulnurable to system crash...
