Undo a Dell Customization

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have a new Dell laptop with WinXP Pro SP2. They apparently customized the
shut down menu. Windows is configured as a domain member so it is the old
style shut down dialog with the drop down box to select Shut Down, Restart,
Suspend, or Hibernate. Whenever shut down is chosen from the Start menu and
this dialog appears, it always shows Hibernate as the default option instead
of it being the last option used as is the default for WinXP. What registry
or profile setting controls this?
