re: Question about 'When I choose "Shut Down" from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' Sunday, August 17, 2008 at 4:03 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by William Mowbray (87 messages posted) After you hit Start, Shut Down .. make sure the little window has Shut Down selected. There are other options such as Log Off, Restart, Stand By, Hibernate. Usually the default setting will be the last action you took. So if you did a Restart recently it is probably still on Restart.
