I don't think you have given us enough information.
has the computer powered down and switched off?
are there still lights on on the keyboard/mouse?
what makes you think the mouse and keyboard are still on after shutdown?
 
Computers don't turn off unless one flicks a switch (and most don't have switches). As you can turn on a computer by hitting a key it implies that the keyboard must work always.

Your TV doesn't turn off either. Don't see you complaining about how the remote can power up a TV.
 
yes the computer powered down and switched off and the lights are still on in
both keyboard & mouse . thanks for helping.
 
If thereis no problem David why are the lights still on when the power is
turned ofat the wall
 
Maybe I can explain a few things to you. If all your systems and all your
software is running smoothly then there is no problem in the eyes of the
peers who are dealing with a lot of problems, minor and severe. That been
said I give it to you to put your mouse on a blank spot of your desktop and
click right. You get "Properties for Monitor". Now click the tab
"Screensaving". In the lower part of the window there is a button "Power".
Now you see a lot of settings. Go monitor them one by one. (You have a
desktop, not a laptop?) Give special attention to the tab "Avanced". Except
from the choice for an icon in the taskbar or to set a password at coming
out of stand-by, there is also a roll-down menu in which you can adjust
funtions to the main on-off button. SO, in Stand-by it's absolute normal
that mouse and keyboard stay "on". And maybe, without your knowledge, is
pushing the systems on-of switch given the function of going in stand-by. I
will not go in the ins and outs of hybernith (or sleep mode). Go look for
your self and learn. Good luck.

Has nothing to do with Windows. Windows has been shutdown, the computer
still has power. There probably is an option in the BIOS for the computer to
start from an S5 power state by the mouse and/or keyboard.

Are your mouse and keyboard battery operated? If not, where would the
power be coming from after you turn off the power at the wall?

The lack of information does seem a problem. When I shut down my
desktop, the power on practically everything is turned off. That
includes the monitor but not, of course, the cordless keyboard
and mouse. The red LED in the mouse also remains on but, as
might be expected, the buttons and keys have no effect on the
computer.
