Thanks for your suggestions, Ken. Log on is now one step -- turn on the
computer.
But logging off, while different, is still multiple steps. I don't have an
option when I hit Start to "Turn off computer," only log off. Once it does,
I must choose shut down and hit OK. Why can't I have the "Turn of the
computer" option from the start button?

Logging on to my desktop happens by simply turning on my machine. When

up my desktop appears.
On my laptop, however, which was handed down to me by my daughter,
logging
on brings me to a dialogue box where I must hit Ok to then finally get my
desktop.
Turning off the laptop, I encounter two steps. I must log off, then I
get
the same dialogue as logging on, where I must OK to shut down, whereas on
my
desktop the start button allows me to either log off or "turn off
computer."
How can I get my laptop to work this way?
To start up the laptop, go to Start | Run, type "control
userpasswords2" Select the account you want to logon to automatically.
Then uncheck the box "Users must enter a user name and password to use
this computer."
Or do the same thing with TweakUI.
To turn off the laptop, do not choose to "Log Off"; choose to "Shut
Down."
