re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' Sunday, February 15, 2004 at 2:25 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mark Kempner (1 messages posted) My XP pro system PC was doing just this. It would shut down and then it would restart. However, the following change to the registry sorts it out very well. Go Start/run and type regedit. Then find the following string as follows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows NT\current version\winlogon Change PowerdownAftershutdown from 0 to 1. Change from 0 to 1 and exit out of regedit. You machine should shut down perfectly...well mine does in any case!!
