re: Question about 'When I choose "Shut Down" from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' Sunday, August 17, 2008 at 1:59 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve B (1648 messages posted) Maybe the system crashed during shutdown. If the default system failure option was set, it does an automatic restart. I suggest you disable this automatic restart. Right click on My Computer. Click Properties > Advanced tab > Startup and Recovery Settings. Uncheck the box for "Automatically restart".
