re: computer does not shutdown on its own when xp was installed Monday, November 12, 2001 at 4:35 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Hugh (1 messages posted) I wouldn't normally recommend tampering with the registry if you're not familiar with it.....but warnings aside, if you know what you're doing then you might also need to modify this registry key value. Under: HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Windows NT > CurrentVersion > Winlogon > look for the key "PowerdownAfterShutdown" and change its value to "1". Again, I must warn you that you really have to know what you're doing. Hugh. Email Address: Remove '1' from above.
