Powering down the computer
When you power down the computer, you have three options
to choose from: Turn Off Computer, Standby, and
Hibernation.
You can set the computer to turn on automatically at a time
you designate. This option is helpful for transferring files by
modem at night. You can set the computer to turn on and send
or receive the files while you are asleep. This option is called
Auto Power On.
Using the Turn off computer or Shut down command
For the Windows XP Home operating system, follow these
steps to shut down the computer:
1
Click Start, select Turn off computer.
Pushing the power button before shutting down the Windows
operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make
sure the system indicator panel' s disk light and the drive-in-
use light are off. If you turn off the power while a disk is being
accessed, you may lose data or damage the disk and/or drive.
TECHNICAL NOTES: Before using any of these options to
power down your computer, save your files and make sure the
disk activity lights are off.
If you change your mind and decide to continue working after
all, wait a few seconds before turning the computer on again.
