    I know I did this before but for the life of me can't remember how.
    I just reformatted my HD and re-installed WinXP Pro.
    Now, when I shut down, I get "It is now safe to turn off your PC"....instead of just shutting down like it used to....
    What am I missing?
    We'll be right back after these messages from Binford!

    Go into Control Panel>Power Options>Advanced and make sure that the assigned function for your power button is to power it down. Sometimes it defaults to standby or hibernate or "Ask Me What To Do".
