Making the computer shut down with "Shut down"

P

Pandora Law

If I want to turn off the computer through the Start Menu, the default icon
that the mouse pointsto is "Standby", not "Turn the ** thing off". I even
asked 26 of my colleagues what they most often wanted to happen, and every
one of them said they wanted the machine off. Off Off. So it would be nice
to make 'off' the default.

A neat little registry trick that I've missed, perhaps?

Any suggestions most welcome.

Thankyou.

Thanks for the pointer, but I don't think I can have explained myself
properly, because your suggestion doesn't seem to produce the result. ...
I'm not trying to restore something lost or changed.

If I go to the start menu, there are the two normal icons. One says Log Off,
the other says Turn Off Computer. So, I want to turn off the computer, and I
get the usual little window with Standy By, Turn Off, Restart. Well,
naturally, I'd like mouse to be pointing at Turn Off (since that's what most
people want to do and that's what I've already said I want to do) ... but no
.... the mouse pointer is always over Standby, which seems really really
dumb. And all I'd like to do is make it sit over Turn Off as the default.
