If Your System Wont Shut Down Properly - Part 1

The solution can be as simple as going into Power Options in Control Panel and changing the "When I Press The Power Button" setting to: "shut down" or so complex that it simply can't be identified. Sometimes it's a third party product causing a reboot at Shutdown (ie, Roxio CD 5.0 - and there is a fix).

Unquestionably, one of the best sites for coverage of this topic is at AUMHA.ORG. I have taken the liberty of pasting the comprehensive information they provide below. Please take the time to locate your specific problem and read their suggested fix. If you still have questions, then by all means post them in the General Questions Forum.


PLEASE REMEMBER ONE THING: BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES TO YOUR REGISTRY, BE SURE TO MAKE A BACK UP EITHER MANUALLY OR BY USING THE SYSTEM RESTORE POINT FEATURE BUILT INTO XP. THIS WILL INSURE A SAFE HAVEN IN THE EVENT YOU MAKE AN ERROR DURING EDITING.
