change default behavior at shutdown

[David Sherman]

When I shutdown the computer, the default option is sleep.

How do I change it to shutdown?

thanks

Don't have a straight answer for you, but if you are using a modern
computer, all you have to do is hit Power Button on your CPU and it
shutsdown. I don't think its working so well in 5308, although, the Shutdown
option from the pop out list beside the padlock on the Start Menu should
shutdown the PC.

Go into Control Panel, type

power

in the Search box, click Change Power Button Behavior. I haven't actually
done it, but it looks like that's the way to go.

Under Change What the Power Button does, it is automatically set to Shutdown
(default), so its basically doing what I suggested. Tip: You can also type
Power Options in Start menu search box and it will appear in the listings.

Essentially both answers are right. Hit the Start orb, click the arrow
that's on the Power button and select "Shutdown".

Thanks for the tip Andre. But I sent him to Control Panel first because when
I type "pow" or "shut" or even "power options" at the bottom of the Start
menu, I don't get a link to the power options dialog box. In fact I mostly
get links to newsgroup posts. Should I be seeing Control Panel icons in that
Start Menu search? If so, is there some setting I can change to get back to
that behavior?

Its possible Indexing is not turned on or working in your build.

Thanks for the input. I have a very unstable machine or things that
you describe weren't installed.

I will revisit this solution on the next version of the CTP.

thanks
