Windows XP is a line of proprietary operating systems developed by Microsoft for use on general-purpose computer systems, including home and business desktops, notebook computers, and media centers. Now all of you who use Windows XP have to deal with non-responsive programs. To close them you have to open the Task Manager, find the process and end it. But here is a better way to automatically close any program that crashes.
1. Go to Start -> Run...
2. Type regedit and hit Enter.
3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Control Panel -> Desktop.
4. In the right pane look for AutoEndTasks.
5. Double click it and modify the value to 1.
6. Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer. From now on every time a program crashes, automatically will be closed.

Well that looks easy. Why doesn't Windows just make that the default? I mean, once a program crashes, you pretty much HAVE to force close it. What's the point of letting it linger in the first place?

What happens if it's explorer that crashes? Also does this force the system to skip error reporting?
What freakin' good is error reporting?

The point of letting a program linger when it's not responding is to avoid closing a program that is only busy. If a program is waiting for an I/O for a long time, it will not respond but you should not end it because as soon as the I/O will be done, the program will continue.

have to agree with fred. theres both good things and bad things with this... say windows explorer crashes ... normally you will be asked to restart ... with this the pc will just shut down and you wouldnt know what caused it unless you know where to look. i mean over all yes good one ... but some applications/process you would want to know when messes up.
