Turning Off the Computer

To properly turn off the computer, first shut down the operating
system software. Click Start > Shut Down. The computer
automatically shuts down.
Depending on the operating system, pressing the power button
causes the computer to enter a low-power or "standby" state
instead of automatically turning the power off. This allows you to
conserve energy without closing software applications; later, you
can start using the computer immediately without having to
restart the operating system and without losing any data.
Ä
CAUTION: Manually forcing the computer off bypasses the standby
state and can cause loss of data.
To force the computer off manually, press and hold the power
button for four seconds.
To reconfigure the power button to work in On/Off mode, click
Start > Control Panel > Power Options. In the Power Options
Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab. In the Power
buttons section, click the pulldown arrow in the field under
When I press the power button on my computer, select Shut
down, then click OK.
