re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' Tuesday, January 22, 2002 at 1:06 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by P.J. (1 messages posted) I've had the same problem. It's very annoying. I've found the fisk though! There's an option you need to disable. I believe it's under Control Panel - System - Advanced - Start up and recovery, turn off the "Automaticallly restart on system failure." I think that is it. It's makes you wonder why it screw up doesn't it? I would also look for all updates for your hardware/software. Maybe looking for a BIOS upgrade would be a good idea as well.
