Turning Off Your Computer To exit Windows and automatically turn off the computer, click Start, then click Shut Down. In Windows NT Workstation 4.0, the power button always functions as an on/off switch. In Windows 95, however, pressing the power button does not turn off power altogether, but instead causes the computer to enter a low-power standby. This allows you to quickly power down without closing applications and to quickly return to the same operational state without any data loss. If you want to turn off power altogether, hold the power button in for four seconds or more. To reconfigure the power button to work as an instant on/off switch instead, run Computer Setup.

Turning Off Your
Computer
To exit Windows and automatically turn off the computer, click
Start, then click Shut Down.
In Windows NT Workstation 4.0, the power button always
functions as an on/off switch. In Windows 95, however,
pressing the power button does not turn off power altogether,
but instead causes the computer to enter a low-power standby.
This allows you to quickly power down without closing
applications and to quickly return to the same operational state
without any data loss. If you want to turn off power altogether,
hold the power button in for four seconds or more.
To reconfigure the power button to work as an instant on/off
switch instead, run Computer Setup. (See the
Software
Reference Guide
for instructions.)
