IPac4 - PS2 or USB
Organic Jerk:
Although this issue is rather specific and probably doesn't effect most of us, it does bring to light a specific difference between the two that I never thought of or was previously enlightened to..

A: Are you using a key combination to initiate the 'quit executable' key? If yes, are you using an IPAC board? If yes, does it have a PS2 or USB cable?
I've recently found that IPAC boards using a PS2 cable tend to only send a single keystroke when a key combination is held down. So if you hold down the SHIFT+CONTROL keys for instance, to send the ESC key as your 'quit executable' button, it only gets sent once and no keydown state is recognized, but if the IPAC is using a USB cable, then key combo does initiate a continuous keydown state for ESC. Which means that the quit delay option won't work for a PS2 cable IPAC because the key-combo isn't recognized as a continuous keydown state. To see whether a continuous keydown state can be maintained, hold down your key-combo in a program like notepad.
