Sleep being the default Shutdown setting

[Guest Mike Douglas]

I am running Windows Vista 64 Bit clean install. I noticed that when I click

Start> Shutdown the SLEEP is always the default. Even if I previously choose

shutdown or restart. I have also noticed this on a Vista Home Basic 32 bit

version. I have played with the power adjustment settings and schemes. No

luck. Where can I tell Vista to display the previous shutdown command like

XP/Win2k does?

So far as I know, you can't. Do I like it? No. But I now do all my shutdowns

via command line anyway, so it's a whole lot less of an issue. ;)

Hi Mike

 

I don't know how to do the previous shut down thing, but you can change it

to your preferred setting.

From my notes:

5/25/2007

The Vista default for shut down is sleep to change this open control panel

select power

then on the select your preferred plan 'change plan settings'.

Select change advanced power settings then

Click the Plus in front of Power Buttons and lid then the plus

in front of Start Menu Power button and change to shut down.
