A follow-up to my own question:

The default for registry entry:
<HKLM>\CurrentControlSet\Control\WaitToKillServiceTimeout is 20000 milli-seconds. As I understand it, this is the time NT will wait for a service to stop before killing it. Will the ORA_sid_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT value have the desired effect if it is larger than the WaitToKillServiceTimeout value divided by 1000?

Or to put it another way:
In order for the ORA_sid_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT to have the desired effect, isn't it necessary to set WaitToKillServiceTimeout to the value of ORA_sid_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT times 1000?

I see no mention of this in the Oracle documentation, but it seems to me that if the Oracle service took too long to shutdown then NT would just pull the plug on it, so to speak.

Am I chasing shadows?
