Classic Star Menu Shut Down

I want 'Shut Down' to be the default selection when I choose Shut Down
from the Classic Start menu. Can I do this? Currently it is 'Sleep'

Yes, this can be changed. Do the following:
1. Select Start button, "Control Panel" menu item.
2. Click "Power Options".
3. Click "Change plan settings" under the active plan.
4. Click "Change advanced power settings".
5. Locate and expand "Power buttons and lid" option.
6. Locate and expand "Start menu power button" option.
7. Change the "On battery" and "Plugged in" options from "Sleep" to
Shutdown".
8. Click OK button.

This should do the job.

How do I set for Restart? I usually leave my systems run 7x24 and most often
restart, I have PC keys that will put my laptops into sleep or hibernate.
While researching this I saw something on the "lock button" but I don't see
this as an option on the Classic start menu"

Great!

Now for another question - On my Vista machine when i click on the link you
provided IE 7 reports "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" but when
I go to my WinXP Pro system the link works. Is this some Vista feature :)
