You really shouldn't do that.

Who says? I thought it was my laptop.

If you were sitting somewhere and want to move
you close the lid to move. (Did NOT want shutdown)

Then I'll learn not to do that.

Are you the same person who puts those kid-proof lids on everything
from aspirin to nail polish?

The only Power Button options for closing the lid are (1) Do nothing,
(2) Standby, and (3) Hibernate.

Google turned up several sites that say these are the only possible
options. Is that true? Is there no way for me to get XP to do a
Shutdown when I close the lid?
