hi
i changed my registry settings like the following:
now my machine really powers off after shutdown, but unfortunately its not just powering off, its simply restarting. thats not what i want it to !! i many times missed the train cuz of the damn "plz wait while winnt saves unsaved data to the disk" !!! isn't there a way to poweroff my computer itselfs ??

Hi,
may be you forgot a little thing:
You have to replace the Original HAL.DLL with a File called HAL.DLL.SOFTEX contained in Service Pack since SP4. Of course you have to rename it to HAL.DLL. Now it should work fine.
