System won't stay in standby

[PT]

My WinXP Home power settings permit standby after 20 minutes. But when I
wish to shut down overnight, I click Start | Turn Off Computer | Standby.
The system tells me it's preparing to standby. The hard drive stops and the
monitor shuts down. Then, about ten seconds later, it awakens from standby.

Why?

Open your control panel, click "power options", and

check what your PC has set for stand-by. I suggest just
select turn off for when you are done. And also there is
the hibernation mode option too.
