How to turn off a computer

There are so many different ways to turn off your Windows XP computer, let's look at some of them:

1. The standard approach - click the Start Button with your mouse, then select the Turn Off menu and finally click the Turn Off icon on the Turn Off computer dialog. [ooph!]

 2. Press Ctrl+Esc key or the Win key and press u two times - the fastest approach.

3. Get the Shutdown utility from Download.com - it add the shut down shortcuts for you. Else create them yourself using approach 4.

4. Create a shutdown shortcut on your desktop. Right click on the desktop, choose New Shortcut and type shutdown -s -t 00 in the area where you are asked to specify the location of the program file. Now you can just double click this icon to turn off the computer. The best location would be your quick launch bar.

5. Press the Win key + R key to open the run window. Type shutdown -s -t 00. [s means shutdown while t means the duration after which you want to initiate the shutdown process].

If some open processes or application won't let you turn off, append a -f switch to force a shut down by closing all active processes.

6. Win+M to minimize all windows and then Alt+F4 to bring the Turn Off computer dialog.

7. Open Windows Task manager (by right clicking the Windows Task bar or Alt+Ctrl+Del) and choose Shut down from the menu. Useful when the Windows are not responding.

In Windows XP Pro, this menu item is more powerful than its name implies. Choosing it opens a dialog box that offers several variations on “shut down” (see Figure 1-6).

•           Standby puts your computer to “sleep.” This special state of PC consciousness reduces the amount of electricity the computer uses. It remains in suspended animation until you use the mouse or keyboard to begin working again. (This feature is available only if your computer offers it and you’ve turned it on in the Power Options program in the Control Panel.)

How the PC sleeps depends on its power-saving features. Usually, the hard drive stops spinning and the screen goes dark. Whatever programs or documents you were working on remain in memory.

•  If you’re using a laptop on battery power, Standby is a real boon. When the flight attendant hands over your microwaved chicken teriyaki, you can take a food break without closing all your programs or shutting down the computer. And best of all, Standby mode consumes only the barest trickle of battery power.

Use Standby when you want to put your computer to sleep on cue. It’s worth noting, however, that you can set the computer to stand by automatically whenever you haven’t used the mouse or keyboard for a while. You can even make it so that the computer won’t wake up again unless you type in a certain password. Section 8.20.4 has the details on these extra features.

•  Shut down quits all open programs (or, in some cases, prompts you to do so), offers you the opportunity to save any unsaved documents, and then exits Windows. Most modern PCs then turn off automatically.

If your older model requires you to manually press the Power button, you must wait until a message appears on the screen telling you that it’s safe to turn off the computer (which may take more than a few seconds).

•  Restart quits all open programs, then quits and restarts Windows again automatically. The computer doesn’t turn off. (You might do this to “refresh” your computer when you notice that it’s responding sluggishly, for example.)

•  Log off quits all programs, disconnects from the network, and then displays the Welcome screen so that the next person can log in. (The PC doesn’t restart.)

•  Disconnect appears as an option only if your computer is connected to a Windows 2000 Server machine that’s running Terminal Services. (If you use this feature, you know who you are.) When you choose it, your terminal session disconnects, but the server remembers what you were doing. When you reconnect to Terminal Services, you return to your previous session. Everything looks as it did before you disconnected.

•  Hibernate shuts down the machine after it memorizes the state of your software, including all open operating system files, applications, and documents. Behind the scenes, it saves all this memorized information into a file on your hard disk. As a result, the Hibernate command doesn’t work unless you have a lot of free disk space. The more RAM your computer has, the more disk space you’ll need. (As with Standby, this feature is only available if your computer offers it and you’ve turned it on in the Power Options Control Panel program.)

The beauty of this feature is that when you start the computer again, everything returns to the way it was when you shut down—fast. The same documents appear, the same programs are running, and so on. Hibernate, in other words, offers the speed and convenience of Standby, with the safety of Turn Off.
