Vista Shut Down not Sleep

Change the default


In the old days of Windows, the shutdown option was not of great concern, because it remembered the last action and repeated it.

Vista is a little more stubborn.

The default action for the Power button on the start menu in Windows Vista is Sleep.

Many of my techy friends leave their machines on for years, but I prefer to shutdown at night.

Here's how to make the change:
  1. Go to Control Panel >Power Options

  2. Select Change Plan Settings >Change Advanced Power Settings

  3. Find "Power buttons and lid"

  4. Change the Start menu power button to either Shut Down Sleep, or Hibernate
