Does Ctrl + Restart harm?

Just want to know if restarting the computer by "Ctrl + Restart" from "task
manager" in XP does any harm or not? Why is it faster than the normal
restarting?
Thanks in advance

it simply does not shutdown the runnning programs correctly - so any open
files may be corrupted.

To stop a service, go to Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Services.
That will show you a list of all services, a description of each, the
status (started or not) of each and allow you to start services that
are not yet running and stop services that are running.
