Set the following registry value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control]
WaitToKillServiceTimeout = 1000
This will force all services to quit within 1 second (the default value is 20000 which means 20 seconds). And if there is a service that can't do it, it will be killed, which is OK for a typical desktop system.
I also found a good article that describes this trick and a couple of more: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/10/31/fast-shutdown-faster-windows-2000-windows-xp-windows-2003-and-windows-vista/
