Re: Can I shut down w/o logging in first?



That page is called the WELCOME SCREEN and it should have a
few words along and near the lower left corner of the screen
that will open page that offers the options to restart,
shutdown or hibernate.

Your screen resolution may be set incorrectly so that
message doesn't show.

Using Control+Alt+Del keys at same time should open a boot /
logon menu which should offer shutdown options.

I am using XP Pro, and I have not looked for other means
since I do have the shutdown link on the Welcome Screen.
