| | Start -> Shutdown -> Default to Shutdown? (Vista SP1 - I run in non-aero mode) When I choose Start -> Shutdown it always defaults to "Sleep" unlike previous versions of Windows which always defaulted to the last choice you'd made. Is there some way to get the previous behavior or to make the default Shutdown instead of Sleep? |
