Did it occur to you to ask the administrator how to do that? Or were you hoping to change this without alerting your admin (not a good plan) because you know he/she won't like you messing around!? If this is a PC in the workplace (as compared to one you actually own) I highly recommend talking to your admin instead of looking for help elsewhere, you might risk annoying him if he prefers the PC set the way it is. Besides....what is the difference? You can still hit the "master" switch (I hope you mean on a power bar and NOT the switch on the back of the power supply...that's a no-brainer and NOT the recommended way to shut a PC down) after the PC powers down so there's really no difference.
