Lesson 14: Turning Your Computer Off
It's very important that you shut down your computer with the
Start button. When you click Shut Down on the Start menu the
system closes all open documents and system files while it puts
everything in place. The next time you turn the computer on the
operating system will restore the desktop to the way you left it.
To turn your computer off, follow these steps:
1 Click Start, then click Shut Down.
The system displays a dialog box similar to the following:
The Shut Down Windows dialog box
2 Click the button next to Shut down the computer?
3 Click Yes.
The system displays a message that it is shutting down and
turns the computer off. When the power is off, the on/off light
goes out.
You have completed the tutorial. You should be familiar with the
desktop and the objects on it. You should be able to open and
close programs, create documents and folders and delete them,
and work with the properties of objects on the desktop. You also
know how to find help if you get lost. Continue to use what you
have learned in these lessons and you will soon feel completely at
home with your computer.
