Interesting tip: setting this in the registry 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\AutoEndTasks = 1

causes Windows 2000 and later to automatically kill any tasks that haven't shut down after 30 seconds. No more getting into work in the morning to find your pc has been on all night because some stupid app refused to die.

Remember to save those vital Word documents.
