Re: Power Button will not shut down

Something I don't understand about changing the functions of these
"buttons" is that three are listed: "Power button action," "Sleep button
action," and "Start menu power button." I know where the "Start menu
power button" is located and have changed it from Sleep to Shut Down.
But where are the other two buttons located?
