Shutdown/Lock Button on start menu

[WendyC88]

I get it where I can change the sleep button on the start menu to shutdown.
Any way to change the lock button to something else, such as sleep? Or
hibernate? Thanks!

Not that I know of, but that could be a good feature

I miss the old way of logging off. Like the opportunity to cancel in case
hitting shutdown as a slip of the mouse. And being able to easily switch
users or log off or shutdown without having to get handcramps trying to hit
a little menu that is past the options I never use.

AMEN!

This is poor design if you ask me. I don't get the logic behind it at
all. It's overly difficult just to do a simple thing like log off.

You can get the classic shutdown menu by pressing alt & F4,
any help?,

Not really.

When I am sure enough that I want to shut down to hit Alt-F4, I may as well
hit the shutdown on the menu. It is the accidental slips of the mouse that
leave me with a sleeping computer that I don't like.

As for using Alt-F4 for closing Windows, that only works if everything else
is closed or minimized. Otherwise it just closes the current window. And
it is a very awkward keyboard combination. This is just one of the few
things about Vista that I think they really got wrong. Well, actually I
have a whole list of things but this is one of only a handful that I think
is significant.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

If you change to button to shutdown, the only slip you could do is lock the
computer.
