App freezes instead of closing.

I have an app that i'm slowly debugging and it keeps on freezing. Rather then just crash so the apps autorestarter can detect that it is no longer open...it just freezes and the "close program" alert box comes up.

Is there any way to disable this in windows so apps that don't respond automatically shut down?

Nevermind..found this

1. Start => Run.
2. Type regedit.
3. Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
4. Find line WaitToKillAppTimeout. Default number is 20000 = 20sec.
5. If you ask to change the time just change it 10sec = 10000 ; 30sec = 30000
6. Reboot and see the effect;)
