Can anybody help with this question..
We have Acpi pcs' and would like them to go to the
"It is now safe to turn off your computer" screen rather than POWERDOWN
AFTER SHUTDOWN.
I have tried a numbers of suggested fixed including the reg fix ...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] :
"PowerdownAfterShutdown"="0" and/or "1"





Is this possible

Is there some reason you NEED this? I seriously doubt it.

Probably, but it entails turning ACPI OFF in the system
BIOS and reinstalling or doing a repair install (not sure if
this will work) from the CD. ACPI, if detected during Setup,
invokes a particular way the OS gets installed, and is probably
pretty hard to change afterwards without problems.

As kt asks, why do you want to do this? If you explain,
maybe we can find you a better way.

Well , there's a very good reason. We run 475 Public access pc's, In 96
locations. All pc's are in locked desks. When staff shut down the pc's at
day's end, we don't won't them(pc's) to auto power off ..but to go to "It is
now safe to turn off your computer" screen then power off with power bar.
They can then power on the pc with power bar when bios is set to "last state"
We have done it this way for quite some time but the new ACPI pc's can't seem
to shutdown without powering off. I don't understand why Microsoft would
design this without having the option to turn on or off. There are ten
differnt ways to do everything else but now way (it seems) to do this.

The pc's are Dell GX 280's . There is no way to turn off ACPI in the bios.
We have reinstalled "with interecept F5" and selected Standard PC. It fixes
shutdown prob .. but it creates video issues and creates 16 Instances of
Motherboard resources in Device manager.

Turn off ACPI. OR don't turn off the power strips at the end of the
night and use the computers' power button.

ACPI can't be diabeled in the Bios. (dell gx 280)
Computers are in "locked desks" Staff can't access the computer's power
button.

Hmm.

Shutdown with ACPI BIOS:

Start>>Shutdown>>PC powers off>>you turn off power strip

Shutdown WITHOUT ACPI BIOS:

Start>>Shutdown>>PC displays "It's now safe...">>you turn off power strip

What's the diff?

When you turn power strip back on .. the pc does NOT come back on!

D'oh!

Of course.

Possible solution:

Look in BIOS for "Wake on keyboard"
option.
