Re: Power Button will not shut down

I believe the system settings option for changing how the power button
reacts is actually referring to the power button on the machine and not the
on-screen power button. Personally, my Vista install has always went into
hibernate when pressing the stupid on-screen power button and I really,
really hate that.
