Turning off the computer

Turning off the computer
It's generally a good idea to turn off your computer when you
are not using it.
If you are using the computer for the first time, leave the
computer plugged into a power source (even though the
computer is off) to fully charge the main battery. With the
computer off, it may take up to three hours to recharge the
main battery.
When you power down the computer, you have three options
to choose from: Turn Off (or Shut down), Hibernate or
Standby. Each option has its advantages.
❖
Use the Turn Off command if you are using the Windows
XP Home operating system, or the Windows
Professional operating system when not connected to a
domain server.
❖
Use the Shut down command if you are using the
Windows XP Professional operating system and
connected to a domain server.
❖
If you have work in progress and are not connected to a
network, use the Windows
commands to save your system settings to the hard drive
so that, when you turn on the computer again, you will
automatically return to where you left off.
❖
To leave the computer off for a longer period, you can use
the Windows
a domain server or the Shut down command when
connected to a domain server instead. For more
