Where the fook is the shutdown button!? I have to log off as a user then click the shutdown button, is there a way from the Start Menu I can just shut the fucking PC down!?

Also I have all my Favourites stored in a folder in My Docs on my new Pc, transferred from my old PC, how do I add these to the list so I can just click the yellow star, Top left and access my favourites as links?

Help please, Vista is somewhat pissing me off!

Thanks.

 

yeh
click on start, then there is a button or arrow that gives you roughly 4 options.

other than that, just pull the power out the back of the tower, as thats all vista deserves anyway

 

Yeah real helpful, thanks for nothing so far!

 

i have exactly the sma eproblem on my other pc lol

i have to click on the little arrow next to it and choose shutdown

ive even changed controls for that button to shutdown but it doesnt do it lol

but you can try it

go into control panel i think , and on the leeft it says

what would you like the red button to do i think, and chose shutdown

but you will have to do it the way i just said i bet

 

click the windows sign in the bottom left of the screen, then click the little arrow to the leftof the padlock sign. there you will find the log off and shut down option

 

I TOLD you what to do, its not rocket science

 

 

Yeah and it aint there otherwise I wouldn't be asking would I!

My options are:

Switch User
Log Off
Lock

????

 

so you have the top third of the little box of options....

strange

press the red standby button and see if it goes into sleep mode.

alternatively go into control panel, go to classic view and select power options. then on the left click "choose what the power buttons do" and then set it so when you press the power button on your PC it shuts down.

 

Must just be easier for some people than others then

Is there another user logged on at the moment?

 

Press ALT-F4, brings up a box, choose Shutdown, click OK.

 

No, no other user logged in mine, it was an ex display PC from Comet so had them as a user 'Comet', but i've changed that to my name now...

 

Dan, I reckon its something to do with it being ex display. they dont want just anyone switching the machine off whilst its on display.

I could be wrong.

Vista is shit! ive got it on new PC and hacked off with it after only 2 weeks.

Anyone got a copy of XP???

LOL

 

Dan, I would run the factory restore program as this pc will have had all the sales demo stuff put on it and that effects power management settings and they may not have put the demo account as an administrator one. What make of PC is it?

 

Sorted

 

Tony its an ACER.

All sorted thanks Ad!
