Vista - Windows Taskbar

02-25-2008

Hello!

I was just wondering if someone could let me know how to change the function
of the Windows Taskbar Power button. It presently serves the purpose of the
SLEEP mode and I would like for it to serve as the SHUT DOWN function.

I would be very thankful for any help with this small inconvenience.

thank you for replying to my question, but your advice did not help.
Someone answered me before you did and let me know how to do it. You have to
Go to POWER OPTIONS, but then instead of going to CHANGE WHAT POWER BUTTONS
DO you have to change the POWER PLAN settings.

Thanks though for taking the time too try and help.

Hi Sobriquet,

No, you do not need to change the Power Plan Options unless there is something you just want to change.

For Power Button:

For Power Plan Options recommendations (Step Two):

Hope this helps,
