 Power Down When You Shut Down |
| WINDOWS 9x can power off your PC automatically at shutdown. NT can't. But from Service Pack 4 on, NT includes a file that lets users get power-off at shutdown on many systems. To try it on your PC, rename the file hal.dll in your WINNT\System32 folder as hal.dll.old. Copy hal.dll.softex from the Service Pack CD to that folder, rename it hal.dll, and reboot. Now select Start-Run, type regedit, press <F3>, and search for PowerdownAfterShutdown. Change its value to 1, exit the Registry editor, and reboot. | Category:Windows NT Issue: January 2000 |
