End Non-Responsive Applications

Windows 2000/XP

To set your computer to automatically end tasks that are not responding, open the registry and look for this string:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP

Right-click on the "AutoEndTask" key and select "Modify". Change the Value Data to 1. Now right click on the "WaitToKillAppTimeout" key and select "Modify". Enter the time in seconds you want the unresponsive program to be automatically shut down. Exit the registry and reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.

Rename The Recycle Bin

All Windows

To change the name of the Recycle bin, go to the Registry and look for this string:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

Right-click on the "Default" string in the right pane and type in the name you want for the Recycle Bin.
