When I shutdown the computer, the default option is sleep.

How do I change it to shutdown?

thanks
 
Go into Control Panel, type

power

in the Search box, click Change Power Button Behavior. I haven't actually
done it, but it looks like that's the way to go.
 
Essentially both answers are right. Hit the Start orb, click the arrow
that's on the Power button and select "Shutdown".

Thanks for the tip Andre. But I sent him to Control Panel first because when
I type "pow" or "shut" or even "power options" at the bottom of the Start
menu, I don't get a link to the power options dialog box. In fact I mostly
get links to newsgroup posts. Should I be seeing Control Panel icons in that
Start Menu search? If so, is there some setting I can change to get back to
that behavior?
 
Thanks for the input. I have a very unstable machine or things that
you describe weren't installed.

I will revisit this solution on the next version of the CTP.

thanks
