Shutting down Xp is doing normal. "It is safe now to shut your comp down". I am looking for an automatic shutdown. Any help?

Are you using a surge suppressor? If you are, your current procedure is normal.

First you cannot auto shutdown without a compattable power box (Internal where your main power wire plugs to your computer.) If you have onw with a switch it should auto shutdown. This is called a ATX power box. You may have the other type AT which only th
e power plugs in. You can check by Pressing the power button. If it offs instantly, you have a AT power box. If you have to wait a few seconds, it is ATX. The diffrence is that AT powerboxes are in control of the power and with ATX the motherboard is. If y
ou have a AT power box you will have to change it to an ATX on. (I advise to ask a computer shop) Your motherboard may not support both so you may have to buy another one (Basicaly byeing a new computer and it isnt worth it ) If your motherboard can take i
t to a computer shop to get it done (about £80 Just the Power Box) or you can do it your self if you know how to.
