XP Pro SP2 Different closedown message boxes
Hi,
That depends on how the computer is configured. One is using the welcome screen and the other is using the computer in a domain. When you use the welcome screen you get a box with three buttons for shutting down. When you use the computer in a domain then you get a drop down list box with the options avaialble in it. -- Regards M. Rajesh www.winxpsolution.com.

Are you talking about the Turn Off Computer box?

What determines which type of box is displayed? TIA Go to Control Panel and double click User Accounts. Click on "Change the way users log on or off". Having "Use the Welcome Screen" results in the "Turn off Computer" box with the Standby, Turn Off and Restart buttons. If you hit the Shift key while this box is displayed the Standby button will change to Hibernate if Hibernation is enabled. If you uncheck "Use the Welcome Screen", the "Shut Down Windows" dialog will be displayed. This is the dialog which contains a drop down list of options. If you make any changes on that page, make sure you hit the Apply Options button. Keep in mind that the Welcome Screen option is not available to a computer that is joined to a domain.
