When I hibernate my xpe system using xpepm - hibernate it
does not power the system down, it leaves the message "It
is now safe to turn off your computer". I am using
winlogon and have set the registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] PowerdownAfterShutdown
to 1. This happens for both a regular user and an
administrative user.
 
Make sure you are using the ACPI HAL. I'm not sure if the Desktop HAL
supports hibernate.
 
Another thing to look for is to make sure your
motherboard's power connector is an ATX connector, and
not a standard AT power connector. ATX power connectors
allow the system to do a "software power down", where the
older (and less common these days) AT power connectors
require the user to manually power off the system.

By default, the Standard PC HAL will usually not power
off the system, and will almost always stop at the "It's
now safe to turn off your computer" splash screen. XP Pro
has the same behavior. If you include the NTAPM component
we added to XPe, you may be able to call the API's
directly to do a "software power off", but if you have an
AT power connector, all bets are off.
