In the bottom half of the window is wehre you can specify what will happen when you press the power button, sleep button, or if you have a laptop what will happen when you close the lid. -- Roy Smith Windows XP Pro SP3 |

Thanks for that. Is there any way (I didn't see one there) to change what the _default_ choice _on pressing enter_ is? When I hit the Windows key (or Start button) and select Turn Off Computer, I still like to be presented with the options, but if I then press Enter, it doesn't pick the one I want - is there a way to change which one it picks? -- J.

Gilliver (John)" Thanks for that. Is there any way (I didn't see one there) to change what the _default_ choice _on pressing enter_ is? When I hit the Windows key (or Start button) and select Turn Off Computer, I still like to be presented with the options, but if I then press Enter, it doesn't pick the one I want - is there a way to change which one it picks? Hi John, At the Shutdown menu you have four choices: [Stand By] [Turn Off] [Restart] [Cancel] When it first appears, the Stand By button is slightly brighter. If you press your TAB key, the Turn Off button becomes slightly brighter. Press the TAB key again and Restart is bright. Press TAB key again, and the Cancel button has a dotted rectangle on it. The Enter key (or spacebar) activates whichever button is highlighted. Or, you can press "S" key for Stand by, "U" key for tUrn off, or "R" key for Restart. You can press ESC key to Cancel. If you want to Hibernate instead of Stand by, hold shift and press "H" key. (If Hibernate is enabled in Power Options.) The button does not have to be highlighted to use any of the special keys. To Hibernate: WinKey, U, shift+H To Stand by: WinKey, U, S To Shutdown: WinKey, U, U To Restart: WinKey, U, R (To Change your mind: WinKey, U, ESC People with computers that do not have a Windows logo key can substitute Ctrl+ESC instead of WinKey above. POP QUIZ: At the shutdown, is the "u" of "Turn Off" under-lined? If not: Right-click desktop, click Properties, click Appearance (tab). Click "Effects" button. UN-check "Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key." Microsoft did a very UN-smart thing by having that item checked by default. When a right-click menu appears, if you press ALT to show the underlined letters, you cancel the menu. Hold ALT while you right-click and the menu appears and disappears too fast to read. (Dear Microsoft... Oh, Never Mind! FWIW. --Richard |
