my computer fails to shut totaly down after asking with the command. My HD's
and sreen shut down but he doesn't shut totally down, there stay allway's
somtheing running. In XP we had to change in the register
PowerDownAfterShutdown, but in this OS I can not find it in the registry.
Do you have an answer? Thanks
 
The power button on the start menu does not shut the computer down, it puts
the computer into sleep (standby/hibernate hybrid). Vista also may have
changed the default for the power button on the computer, as well. Is this
the issue?
 
i saw on my vista(bata2) a possibility to shut the computer totally down. It
has also worked, but after a certain time (+/- 1 month). it stopt with
working.
I am very happy that you toke the time to respond but i guess that the
reason is not this.
 
I'll take another try at it.

Is there the possibility that either an open application or a hardware
driver is not closing properly and causing the system to "hang" at shut
down?
