vista - start and shutdow

[Yusuf K]

After clicking on "start" key at left bottom, I used to "shutdown" computer
by clicking on "shutdown button" however this button has now changed to
"hibernate" function. In order to select shutdown I have to go to "right
arrow" button at the right hand side of the "start window" and select
shutdown computer.

How would I change functionality of the shutdown button? this button was
previously red colored for shutdown, now it is light brown and does the
hibernate instead of shtdown.. So, anybody has an answer I appreciate..

Go to Start - Control Panel - Power Options - Change Plan Settings (for
whichever plan you have selected)
Then click "Change advanced power settings", then under "Power buttons
and lid", change "Start menu power button" to Shut down

Hope this helps!
