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 Make sure the button next to Shut Down the computer is
highlighted. If it isn't, click it now.
3 Click Yes.
The system displays a message that it is shutting down and
turns the computer off. When the power is off, the power light
goes out.
