Re: Diff. between Shutdown and Restart

No, I'm not "wrong." I don't use the insipid user desktop defaulted
to by XP, and NONE (zero, nada, nil) of the 50 to 100 of the computers
I support have this function anywhere in the shutdown dialog.

I speak of what I support. Just because what YOU have on your
computer doesn't match the interface in XP I use doesn't make my
answer WRONG. It just makes you a grumpy ***. Maybe you should
talk to NoStop and switch to Linux, I think it would suit your
temperament.
