FWIW, there's a registry key of use here:

HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Desktop\AutoEndTasks

if this value is set to "1", then processes get hard killed during a logoff.
In other words, the "Wait, End Task, Cancel" box should never show up once
this value is set.

If you want this to work for an existing user, change
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\etc etc instead of HKEY_USERS\Control
Panel\etc etc

Cheers,
John
