"Shut down" as default option for shut down?

Start->Shut Down..., a window pops up with a drop-down list
correct? Mine defaults to "Sleep". How can I make it to default
to "Shut down"?

Hi Zilla,

If you mean the Start menu Power button, then this will show you how to change the default setting for it.

Power Button

Create a new shortcut (rightclick desk) with the command :
shutdown /s /t 00

Drop it on start
