| Guest | Home Edition - Logging off I think it's funnny in the Vista Home Premium edition, that the two buttons in the Start menu are for Sleep and Lock. I use the Lock feature at work every time I step away from my desk, but at home I use it approximately never ever ever never ever. At home, I want to Log Off when I'm done. I don't need the lock the PC when I step away, I just leave it up. The only way to get to Log Off (which I think would be very common for home users with multiple accounts) is to go to that arrow and select it off of the sub-menu. So the question is: is there a way to reconfigure the Lock button so it really does a Log Off? I'll also provide my solution that I put on the desktop of all accounts on my pc. I created a shortcut as follows: C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -l (that's a lower-case L on the end) Clicking this shortcut immediately logs off the account. I've got it pinned on the Start menu and/or on the desktop where it's easy to get to. It makes it much easier to log off. |

| Guest | Re: Home Edition - Logging off blueRidgeMtns I felt the same way you did about having a power button put that wouldn't shut down my computer. I found the answer to changing the behavior of the power button on the c/net website. Here is the link to a video demo http://www.cnettv.com/9710-1_53-27148.html . I hope this helps you out.
