Fastest Way to Shut Down Windows XP
You thought the one-click shutdown was fast? Get ready for
the no-click shutdown. You can actually shut down Windows XP
without a click, but first you have to get set up.
Go to your Control Panel and choose Power Options.
Select the Advanced tab.
Under "Power buttons" you can choose what happens when you press
the power button on your computer. It's probably already set to
shut down, but it's a good idea to make sure before you start
wantonly shutting down your machine. If it's not set to shut
down, choose that item from the drop-down list. Now you're ready
to shut your computer off. Be sure to close any open programs
on the task bar first. Just hit the power button. Don't touch
the keyboard, and keep your hands off that mouse. It's perfectly
safe to shut down your computer with the touch of a button. |
