mataeux is right - Vista is dumber than XP in this respect.
My XP boxes remember whatever I last selected when using Alt-F4 as a
shortcut to shutting down. Vista does not.
It's faster than mouseing for the "start" orb, finding the shutdown arrow,
clicking on the choice I want this time. Really, keyboard shortcuts are
there for a reason.

- Expand the "Power buttons and lid" option in the list
- Expand "Start menu power button"

Off Topic: There is no need to type in uppercase. It is considered
rude.
