Shut down on vista

[Guest]

Hi all,
This may seem picky but how do i set "shut down" to defualt option from
start menu and shut down? As apposed to the defualt option of sleep mode
coming up everytime i want to shut down my pc?

I just go to start menu/shutdown/ as usually but i always have to selct
shutdown because the option of sleep mode is always listed first.

Sincerely Greatful for the help if any.

Hi Joe,

To change the action of the default shutdown option on the start menu, do
the following. Open 'Control Panel', 'Hardware and sound', 'Power options'.
Click 'Change plan settings' under the selected option. Click 'Change
advanced power settings'. Expand the 'Power buttons and lid' option. Open the
'Start menu power button'. The current option is usually 'Sleep', but if you
click on this, you can change it to what you like from 'Sleep', 'Hibernate'
and 'Shut down'. As 'Shut down' is the option you require, select that. Click
'OK' and close all other windows. If you click on your start menu, you will
find the shutdown option is now what you require.
