change default behavior shutdown

When I shutdown the computer, the default option is sleep.
How do I change it to shutdown?
thanks

Don't have a straight answer for you, but if you are using a modern computer, all you have to do is hit Power Button on your CPU and it shutsdown. I don't think its working so well in 5308, although, the Shutdown option from the pop out list beside the padlock on the Start Menu should shutdown the PC. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Go into Control Panel, type
power
in the Search box, click Change Power Button Behavior. I haven't actually done it, but it looks like that's the way to go.

Under Change What the Power Button does, it is automatically set to Shutdown (default), so its basically doing what I suggested. Tip: You can also type Power Options in Start menu search box and it will appear in the listings. ;) -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Essentially both answers are right. Hit the Start orb, click the arrow that's on the Power button and select "Shutdown".

Thanks for the tip Andre. But I sent him to Control Panel first because when I type "pow" or "shut" or even "power options" at the bottom of the Start menu, I don't get a link to the power options dialog box. In fact I mostly get links to newsgroup posts. Should I be seeing Control Panel icons in that Start Menu search? If so, is there some setting I can change to get back to that behavior?

Thanks for the input. I have a very unstable machine or things that you describe weren't installed.
I will revisit this solution on the next version of the CTP.
thanks
